Have you or a loved one been experiencing a persistent decrease in motivation, low mood or feelings of hopelessness and irritability? Maybe you have been struggling with your personal, work or social relationships and feeling alone?

Our Depression Screener can provide an early and valuable insight into the severity of your low moods and whether you may need counselling or other support.

Our Depression Screener can help identify:

• The impact it is having on various aspects of life (relationships, work, and personal wellbeing).
• Different triggers that may be prolonging or worsening symptoms.
• The need for improvement and specific lifestyle changes to focus on.
• Realistic goals and milestones to support positive individual growth.

The beginning of change is admitting that there may be a problem. Our Depression Screener is a great first step to ensure you are prioritising your mental health and wellbeing.

What is included in the Depression Screener?

The online Depression Screener is conducted by a few of our experienced psychologists with specific experience in depression and psychological concerns. These psychologists are clinical, endorsed, and general psychologists.

The Screener Includes:

• A 50-min online consultation.
• Up to 4 screening tests to ensure clear results of concern.
• Recommendations for further testing or support needs.

During the session your psychologist will:

• Take a full clinical history.
• Give you feedback on your test results.
• Provide recommendations for further testing or support needs.

How does it work?

Once you have purchased the Depression Screener, reception will contact you to arrange an appointment time. Prior to your consultation, you will be sent some forms to fill in as well as 4 online screening tests, which will automatically be sent back to us, once completed. You will need to return these forms and send back 48 hours prior to your consultation.

Your psychologist will review the test results prior to your session.

You will be sent four online psychological tests before your first session to fill in under strict test conditions.

Online Testing

You will be sent several online tests during the assessment process that have between 20 – 170 multiple choice questions. They are easy to fill in, but it is important that you follow our test conditions to get the most accurate results.

How to follow test conditions

• Complete every question in one sitting.
• Fill them in alone and in one sitting– you can share later.
• Do not be distracted by watching TV or talking to anyone else.
• Be honest as this will help validate your results.

If you have any questions or concerns about the screener, you can speak to the Reception team on 1300 161 639, email us at assessments@psychologymelbourne.com.au or use the chat box on our website.
