What do Barbara Streisand, Donny Osmond, Carly Simon, and 17 million Americans have in common? They have all suffered from an anxiety disorder, one of Americas most common mental illnesses. Individuals who suffer from an anxiety disorder experience a variety of symptoms that can include spontaneous panic attacks, endlessly checking and rechecking their actions, persistent and uncontrollable worry, and anxiety in social situations. Untreated anxiety disorders often can lead to substance abuse, depression, and even suicide. To help students learn about anxiety disorders, their symptoms, and effective treatments, Goshen College Counseling Service will provide free screenings from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., May 3rd, as part of a free national outreach program. The program includes completing a screening questionnaire, meeting with the counselor to review the questionnaire, and receiving information about various anxiety disorders and mental illnesses. Screenings take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. You may simply walk in to the Wellness and Health Center lobby during this time and request a screening. If you have questions about this service, please contact Phil Good-Elliott at 535-7474.
