While it is natural to experience stress and nervousness in many daily activities, clinical anxiety may interfere with an individual's ability to work at an optimal level. Anxiety takes many forms, including worrisome thoughts, fear or avoidance of specific situations, intrusive thoughts, repetitive behaviors, persistent memories of a past trauma, or physical symptoms of distress (e.g., racing heart, difficulty breathing, shaking, nausea). The following screening instrument can assist you in identifying signs and symptoms of anxiety that may be interfering with your daily functioning. These screenings also assess symptoms of depression.

Alcohol Information and Screening

Is drinking alcohol harming my health now, or will it be harmful to me later in life? Should I stop drinking alcohol? Am I a binge drinker? Most adults who drink alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor) consume safe and healthy amounts. For others, unsafe drinking patterns increase their risk for injury, illness or future alcohol problems. And, for 1 in 13 American adults, alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence (alcoholism) causes substantial harm to their health and disruption in their lives.

If you consume alcoholic beverages, it's important to know whether your drinking patterns are safe, risky or harmful. Answering these questions will take only a few minutes, and will generate personalized results based on your age, gender and drinking patterns. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymous.

Eating Disorder Information and Screening

Some individuals respond to life stressors by adjusting their eating behaviors. For some, food is a source of comfort and calming. For others, restricting food consumption provides a sense of control. Others may alternate between excessive eating and purging behaviors. Still others may focus on food consumption in an attempt to attain the "perfect body." Any of these behaviors can ultimately lead to physical and emotional harm.
