lack of screening for mental health symptoms leads to
widespread Undiagnosed and untreated mental health conditions

According to American Family Physician, "Screening for depression is the cornerstone of early recognition, diagnosis, and management." Despite the high prevalence of depression and recommendations for screening, a recent survey of 33,653 physician-patient encounters showed that less than 5% of adults are screened for depression in the primary care setting."

According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, the average time from onset of symptoms to treatment across all behavioral disorders is 11 years.

MISSION GetYourTest:

To empower every American to pursue their path to mental wellness.
Getting well starts with GetYourTest.

Every
American Family

Virtual at-home learning introduced during the pandemic has had continuing negative impact on the mental health of our kids, parents and families.

According to a 2021 CDC study, “One in 14 children aged 0–17 have a parent who reports poor mental health. Children with parents who report poor mental health are more likely to have poor general health, adverse childhood experiences, mental, emotional, or developmental disabilities, and to live in poverty.”
 

The SAGE-SR provides at-home, 100% confidential screening and for adolescents age 14 yrs. and adults.

Every K-12 and
College Student

According to a 2024 posting by WebMD, “Teen mental health problems have hit a new peak in the U.S., and the gap between the number of teenagers who report conditions like anxiety, depression, and hopelessness and the number of those who receive treatment is increasing.” 

GetYourTest are proud to announce The Sami Project. Our mission is to provide parents and their children, age 14 to 18, access to the SAGE-SR behavioral health screen and assessment.

Every First Responder &
Healthcare Worker

According to Mental Health First Aid, “85% of first responders have experienced mental health symptoms, and 30% develop behavioral health conditions. This is compared to 20% of the general population. First responders are more likely to experience depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety disorders.”

HCLogics and GetYourTest recognizes the heroic work of America’s first responders. We also recognize the increased risk of mental health issues inherent in the work they do. We are committed to doing our part by offering free SAGE-SR screening and assessments to first responders and healthcare workers across America as our way of saying Thank You!

Every Veteran and
Active Military Member

Our Veterans and Active Military Members have a higher incidence of all mental health conditions, including suicide, compared to the general population. In fact, in 2024, the suicide rate for Veterans is 1.5 times higher. Comparing women Veterans to non-Veteran adult women, the rate is 2.5 times higher.

The goal of Mission GetYourTest is to provide every Veteran and Active Military Member access to the the Sage-SR mental health screening and assessments they so desperately need to begin their journey to mental wellness.
