Depression & Anxiety Screening

Depression and anxiety are common conditions that can affect sleep, energy, concentration, and daily functioning. Screening is a simple conversation and questionnaire-based check that helps identify these conditions early, often during a routine primary-care visit, so that care can be planned around your specific needs.

What Screening Involves

Brief Questionnaires — Standardized questions about mood, sleep, energy, and worry help identify symptoms worth discussing further.
A Conversation With Your Provider — Screening results are reviewed together, in the context of your overall health history.
A Plan Moving Forward — Depending on the conversation, next steps may include follow-up visits, medication management, or referral to a specialist.

How This Fits Into Your Care

Screening results are added to your Electronic Health Records, keeping your history and any follow-up in one secure place that your care team can reference at future visits. If ongoing check-ins are recommended, the Patient Portal offers a secure way to message the office and review visit summaries between appointments. When a higher level of mental health support is appropriate, our office can help coordinate a referral as part of Specialist Referrals & Care Coordination.

Getting Started

Depression and anxiety screening can be part of an annual physical, a wellness visit, or a standalone conversation whenever concerns come up. We accept many major insurance plans; please call our office to confirm your plan before your visit.
