People concerned enough about their mental state to search for ways to find help will find encouragement in the form of a new screening questionnaire from Google.
According to Engadget, the tech giant is acknowledging the fact that only about half of Americans who battle with depression actually get help for it. When users search for terms related to mental health or post-traumatic stress disorder, they will be presented with a set of screening questions that can help identify the problem they have and give them useful information they can take to a doctor.
By raising awareness of the issue and giving people a clear path to starting on their road to recovery, Google hopes to make it easier for someone in need to ask for professional help.
