Drexel University Implements New Mental Health Kiosk

Walking through the Drexel University Recreation Center, I couldn’t even spot it at first. In fact, I walked by it multiple times. I just didn’t expect a kiosk that screens for mental illness to look like a sleek version of an ATM.  The sign next to the kiosk read, “Get a Check-Up From the Neck Up,” so I pressed “Take A Screening” to start the process.  The two-minute anonymous screening can test for six different signs of mental health problems: depression, generalized anxiety, bipolar, post-traumatic stress, eating and alcohol-use disorders.
