JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
A variety of mental conditions can take years to diagnose, but now there's a new diagnostic tool for doctors and patients.
It's called the m3 screen, a 30-question online test that looks for key signs of conditions like depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and bipolar disorder.
After someone takes the test, it immediately gives you a number from zero to just over 100. If the number is over 30, a person may have a mental health condition. The higher the number, the more severe that condition might be.
The test is online and free.
