Everything You Need to Know About Snapclarity’s Mental Health Check-up
What is Snapclarity’s mental health check-up and what does it mean?
Comprised of a series of questions about personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings, Snapclarity’s check-up looks at mental health from a variety of angles. This includes a look at your overall well-being, level of functioning on a day-to-day basis, and symptoms that may lead to distress.
Most specifically, it helps determine your level of mental health risk (low, moderate, high) within 13 commonly diagnosed disorders like depression, anxiety, ADHD, panic, and more.
Helps Overcome Barriers to Care
In order to receive the quality care you deserve, you must first have a clear and informed idea of what you are currently experiencing. Much too often, comprehensive mental health assessments fail to be delivered, and instead, treatment decisions are based on too little information.
SnapClarity aims to overcome this barrier by providing you and your therapist with a high quality and informative mental health checkup upfront (and free of charge). Check-up results include potential treatment interventions to empower you in treatment decision-making. These are:
- “Life Interventions” or everyday activities you can engage in to improve your mental health;
- “Psychological Services” or types of psychotherapeutic or counselling approaches effective for the specific mental health disorder;
- “Medication Strategy/Rx Interventions” or first-line medications that have shown symptom reduction in clinical research
Noticing Positive Changes Over Time
Snapclarity believes in helping people get better. Staying informed of potential areas of mental health risk and how these symptoms could affect you can have a huge impact on your roadmap to wellness.
Not only will you be able to measure personal improvements, your checkup results also provide your therapist (or family physician) with a comprehensive summary of your current and future mental health outlook. Ultimately allowing you and your therapist to direct the focus of your therapeutic work together.
Gain Access to Qualified & Highly Specialized Support
No matter the distance nor the medium, you deserve to receive appropriate and highly specialized mental health support.
In today’s mental health care landscape, navigating the system can be very stressful. Finding the right therapist can be sort of like dating — it involves finding someone you can be truly comfortable with, someone able to meet you where you are at. Snapclarity takes away the hassle of trial and error matchmaking by using your checkup results to automatically pair you with a therapist that specializes in your areas of concern.
A Few Things to Consider
It is very common for people to score high risk on at least one disorder. The majority of people will experience symptoms of a mental health concern throughout their lifetime. In fact, by the time the average Canadian reaches the age of 40, 1 in 2 will have — or have had — a mental illness.¹
It is also important to note that Snapclarity’s check-up results are NOT a diagnosis. Snapclarity’s check-up is comprised of commonly used, industry-leading “screeners” that help explore and narrow down potential difficulties you may be facing.
Conclusion
Snapclarity’s mental health checkup is a great way to start taking charge of your mental wellness. By providing you with a comprehensive breakdown of your areas of concern, as well as potential treatment options, Snapclarity’s check-up allows you to overcome barriers to care, helps you notice positive changes over time, and can be used to pair you with the appropriate mental health support.
