Anonymous Online Depression Symptoms Quiz

To find out if you have symptoms of depression you can take this free, anonymous depression-screening quiz. Screening tests, such as this one, are not intended to provide a diagnosis for clinical depression. But it may help identify any depressive symptoms and determine whether a further evaluation by a mental health professional is necessary. As with any other illness, you should seek professional mental health and/or medical attention if you think you might have symptoms of depression. More than 80 percent of people with depression improve with treatment.

Self-Help Guides

We have a list of books that have information regarding common issues, including stress, depression, perfectionism, procrastination and self-identity, to name a few. 

Virtual Brochures

We are in the process of writing a collection of brochures that will address topics that students frequently have questions about.  At this time, we present you our modest collection of brochures!  As we complete others, we will be adding them to this site -- and if you have a suggestion for a brochure topic, let us know.  We hope you find this information helpful, but remember, self-help materials can provide only general information and guidance.  If you're concerned about how one of these issues is affecting your life, visit us in the Furman Counseling Center to talk it over.
