Your mental health matters. Visit Calgary Counselling Centre’s website between October 2 and 8 to take a quick, anonymous, depression screening quiz.
Robbie Babins-Wagner wants all Calgarians to know that depression is treatable. And no matter how you’re feeling, there is always hope.
“The Calgary Counselling Centre sees between 9,000 and 11,000 new clients every year,” she says. “Depending on the year, depression is either the number one or number two reason why people seek our services.” “Most people with an individual problem, like depression, anxiety or stress will, on average, wait five years to actually get help for it. If you’re talking about relationship [challenges], on average, people wait seven years between the time that they first thought there might be a problem until they deal with it. This adds to the stigma and it can be more challenging to treat when people come in later,” says Babins-Wagner.
The quiz asks questions like, whether you’ve had a poor appetite recently, if you’ve been feeling blue and if you’ve had less interest in things than usual. It only takes minutes to fill out and the results are immediate. From there, you will be directed to relevant helpful resources and you can choose what to do next, such as setting up an appointment with a counsellor or your health-care provider.
