Many people, especially busy college students, supplement their understanding of mental health issues by conducting on-line research and/or reading self-help books. While these resources are not a substitute for professional mental health care, they may offer valuable information and perspective. Therefore, we suggest the following resources:  

U-Lifeline provides a free suicide assessment and valuable information about depression and suicide prevention. However, if you are depressed, in despair, or experiencing thoughts of harming yourself, please talk with a CAPS counselor or a trusted friend. If your need is urgent, call us now—help is available.  

Students who would like to learn more about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can access an on-line screening, and gather valuable resources offered by NYU Medical Center and NYU School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry. 

If you suspect you are experiencing another mental health concern but would like to conduct a free screening before seeking professional assistance, you may find the following on-line screenings particularly useful:  

• depression
  
• eating disorders
  
• alcohol
  
• generalized anxiety
  
• bipolar disorder
  
• post-traumatic stress  

In addition to the on-line screenings, you may be interested in accessing one of several self-help books (on relaxation and stress reduction, depression, anxiety and phobias) available at The Gannett Pharmacy.  

Remember: no matter what your concern, you don't have to "go it alone." We are here to help.
