Free depression screenings coming up

BENTON, Ky.

Medical experts say one in five adults experience a mental health condition each year.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened feelings of depression, stress and anxiety caused by fears about our health and the health of our loved ones, financial concerns, caring for our children’s schooling from home and much, much more.

To mark May’s Mental Health Awareness Month observance, behavioral health experts with Mercy Health-Lourdes Hospital, KentuckyCare Behavioral Health and the Four Rivers Behavioral Health Regional Prevention Center are offering free depression screenings on May 28, according to a news release.
