A 3 Minute Test for Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and PTSD.
What is the purpose of the M3 (“WhatsMyM3”)?
The M3 website encourages individuals to complete the M3 Screen, a private, self-rated checklist for potential mood and anxiety symptoms. The checklist responses trigger a feedback page indicating each individual’s relative risk for Depression, an Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and PTSD. The Screen responses and the resulting M3 analysis of risk may be printed, emailed, or securely accessed online by a designated health care professional, all at the discretion of the user.
The information provided by the M3 expedites and organizes a discussion between doctor and patient of relevant mental health issues at their next office visit, helping to direct the clinician toward a more accurate diagnosis. By providing parallel educational material for patients, the M3 encourages compliance and long-range follow-up of progress.
Who would benefit from completing the M3 online?
Anyone 18 years and older may complete the M3 Checklist online. Patients will benefit by being directed toward more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Physicians benefit from the M3 because poorly treated mood and anxiety disorders impede compliance with medical treatments generally, and adversely affect recovery from illness and overall medical health. Within the tight time constraints of a typical office visit, the M3 provides an algorithm for up-to-date, evidence-based treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, helping to extend effective treatment to an underserved population of patients.
