Psych Central Launches New Sanity Score Web Tool to Help Assess an Individual's Overall Level of Mental Health
HAVERHILL, Mass. (PRWEB) May 1, 2007 -- Psych Central® today announced the public beta launch of the Sanity Score™ Web tool at www.SanityScore.com that can help assess an individual's overall level of mental health. The system takes responses from 90 questions and then calculates a person's Sanity Score, a basic overall measure of a person's mental health. Along with the numerical result, people also get a thorough description of life factors that emerged to support the result plus a graphical representation of how high that person scored along 21 different common mental health attributes.
"Millions of Americans who have a diagnosable mental illness never seek treatment for it, in part, because they are unsure of their level of mental health," said Dr. John M. Grohol, Psy.D., founder and publisher of Psych Central. "We've refined this proprietary system to provide individuals with useful information about the state of their current mental health status."
The system is free, easy-to-use, and doesn't take long to complete. Simply go to www.SanityScore.com, log in with a free Psych Central account, and start taking the multiple-choice questionnaire. All-in-all, it only takes about 15 minutes to complete and receive immediate results, which can then be saved for future reference.
"Today's public beta launch is meant to draw attention to the growing number of people who are seeking reliable and helpful information online," said Grohol. "Visitor numbers to Psych Central, our flagship mental health Web site, have been growing consistently alongside the trend of people looking for reliable mental health information online. This is a great new tool that provides a new dimension to understanding mental health conditions that otherwise are difficult to quantify," he said.
The Sanity Score system will become more refined and be updated as more people take the test.
After individuals complete the Sanity Score test and learn more about their mental health condition, they can head over to www.psychcentral.com to learn more about any concerns that they system uncovers. For each attribute, Psych Central has a complete offering of editorial news content, reference information, support communities, book reviews, blog posts, and more.

Mental Health Software Vendor Lowers Prices to Appeal to Smaller, Community Mental Health
CTIS (Convergent Therapy Information System) software is now available for $375 per user license, with additional volume discounts, in an effort to appeal to smaller, community-based mental health organizations that need an affordable software tool to increase efficiency in managing patient records. While CTIS works very well for larger organizations, the former pricing structure was sometimes difficult for a smaller CMHC (Community Mental Health Center) to afford. CTIS allows any Behavioral/Mental Health organization to "do more with less" in this difficult economic environment, while also anticipating future compliancy needs. CTIS requires no recurring usage fees, and a special bundle is available for sole practitioners.
