Diagnosing Mental Health Conditions on Your iPhone

Medical News Today  reports that the company M3 and Mental Health America, the nation's largest and oldest mental health advocacy and public education organization have collaborated to produce an iPhone app that can diagnose four major mental health conditions.   Mental Health Checklist is a 27-question, three-minute online checklist which can be accessed online or from a PDA or smartphone.  According to the story the test has been validated (in a study funded by M3) to be as accurate as an in office assessment.  The smartphone/PDA app will also display a Suicide Hotline if the test indicates a risk for suicide.
