National Depression Screening Day
National Depression Screening Day is designed to call attention to the illness of depression on a national level, educate the public about symptoms and effective treatment, offer individuals the opportunity to be screened for depression and connect those in need to the mental health care system in Delaware.
On Thursday, October 9, 2025 many organizations will participate with MHA in providing quick, anonymous screenings in various locations throughout the state. There are also many sites who provided screenings throughout the month of October, not just on Thursday, October 9, 2025. These screenings are often the first step for individuals with depression in getting help. We had 211 online screenings and 67 in-person screenings with 25 individuals referred to treatment in 2024.
Like other health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, many people with depression are not aware of their illness. The depression screenings are not a professional evaluation, but are a quick and easy way to spot some of the early signs of trouble. Clinical Depression is a common medical illness affecting more than 15 million American adults each year. Over 84,000 Delawareans reported experiencing serious psychological distress in the past year, with depression being among that distress. Importantly, 80% of those diagnosed with depression who seek treatment experience a decrease in symptoms within 4-6 weeks.
It is very important for people to understand the connection of mental health to physical health and overall well-being. An initiative such as National Depression Screening Day 2025 works to provide Delawareans options if they are reluctant to seek help. It also establishes prevention and early intervention.
If your organization is interested in holding a depression screening at your site, or you would like to become a screener, please contact our office at (302) 654-6833 x214 or e-mail Elizabeth Davis at edavis@mhainde.org!
