The Stress and Depression Questionnaire is a confidential, convenient, and safe way to find out how stress and depression may be affecting you, and to learn more about available mental health resources at Johns Hopkins and in the community.
In collaboration with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Johns Hopkins first offered the Stress and Depression Questionnaire to students and learners in the Fall of 2018. Since 2018, 6,500 students and learners submitted stress and depression questionnaires and reflected on how their mental health may be affecting them, 5,720 students and learners returned to the ISP website to review the counselor’s response, which included support for their specific concerns and recommendations for making a mental health appointment, and 1,525 students and learners exchanged confidential messages with a JHU clinician to address any barriers to help-seeking and to learn more about available resources and treatment. Notably, after exchanging online messages with a JHU counselor, 485 respondents who were not already receiving mental health treatment requested an appointment with Johns Hopkins Mental Health Services.
After submitting your anonymous and confidential questionnaire, which takes about 10-15 minutes, you will receive personalized feedback within 24 - 48 hours from a Johns Hopkins counselor. You will also have the option to anonymously exchange messages with a JHU counselor to discuss available services and options for treatment.
