What It’s Best Used For

This series is primarily designed for therapy, counseling, and psychological evaluation settings to quickly uncover underlying conditions, assess risk levels, and guide initial patient support plans.

• Matching the Evaluation to the Need: Employers and clinicians can choose from four tailored versions, including the concise 4-Factor edition (49 questions), the standard BMHE (60 questions), an 8-Factor variation (87 questions), and a specialized Teen Version (89 questions).
• Screening for Major Adult Disorders: Depending on the selected battery, the adult tests evaluate critical clinical dimensions such as Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, Panic Disorder, and Substance Use Disorders.
• Identifying At-Risk Adolescents: The Teen Version is specifically tailored to uncover developmental and psychological stressors unique to youth, tracking concerns like Attention Deficit Disorder, Conduct Disorder, eating disorders (Anorexia/Bulimia), bullying, and active Suicide Risk.
• Comprehensive Diagnostic Insights: Every completed evaluation generates an immediate online report that provides clear score graphs, detailed narrative interpretations, potential diagnoses, and structured advice on how to choose a therapist. The series is entirely legal for use in Canada.
