Butler offers free mental health check via the Web

Butler Hospital announced today that it plans to hold a free and anonymous public screening for mental health disorders on May 4.

Butler also announced that it offers free online screenings at its Web site, where computer users can determine whether they have depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or alcoholism.

The hospital will hold the confidential screenings from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Care New England Wellness center in Warwick. They will be held on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Online screenings are accessible around the clock.

The hospital warns that the brief screenings are not the same as having a full psychiatric evaulation, and that further evaluation may be necessary for a complete diagnosis.
