Mood Disorder Screenings at Tunxis

From Tunxis Community College:

Tunxis Community College will hold free anonymous screenings for a mood check-up on October 6 during National Depression Screening Day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Administration Building main corridor.

Participants will take a private questionnaire that addresses mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and PTSD, and will have the opportunity to speak with a counselor. Referrals to community support services and educational information will be available.

The event is held annually in October to spread awareness of depression and related disorders, and to educate the public about symptoms and treatments. Of the 19 million Americans who experience depression each year, many develop their first symptoms just before or during college, according to the University of Michigan Depression Center.

For more information, call 860.773.1506 or email vcraven@tunxis.edu.

Tunxis is located at the junction of Routes 6 and 177 in Farmington. For information on Tunxis, visit tunxis.edu. A map is available at tunxis.edu/map.
