The world is going through a worse stage and this is reflected in society, in each person and in their health. When it comes to health, we can’t just think about physical health. Mental health is a challenge for everyone and in this sense it is important to realize if we are well.
The University of Minho Faculty of Medicine, in collaboration with its P5 Digital Medicine Center, has developed a free platform that enables a mental health self-assessment.
Find out how your mental health is in minutes ...
Designed and developed by a team led by Pedro Morgado, researcher and professor at the Faculty of Medicine, the webapp is a tool for self-assessment and self-monitoring of mental health, but also for emotional management.
The free platform helps identify situations that may benefit from referral for medical care or advise to make an appointment. This approach is in line with international good practice in the field of mental health.
This type of tool is unique in Portugal. The information on the proposed strategies was selected by a team of psychiatrists, psychologists and researchers in the field of neuroscience according to the best scientific evidence.
This project aims to increase mental health literacy, simultaneously with self-control of symptoms and training the population in self-care. At the same time, awareness is raised about the need to resort to health services and qualified professionals whenever situations of greater severity of the reported symptoms arise.
This tool allows each person to evaluate and monitor their anxiety and depressive symptoms, receiving information about their condition. Each person also has access to tools for emotional management, improving sleep, and adopting healthy lifestyles.
