Survey on emotional distress and mental health diagnoses
We are conducting research on how people think about emotional distress and mental health diagnoses. We are a group of researchers and practitioners who are concerned about our mental health system. We believe that a variety of mental health approaches should be available to people from all walks of life.
During the last few years more and more mental health professionals around the world are talking to each other about diagnosing people who are experiencing emotional distress. They’re concerned about the impact of giving and receiving a diagnosis, and the diagnostic system that is used in clinics, hospitals and private practices.
These discussions are primarily among professionals. We think this very important conversation needs the community’s voice.
We want to hear from you! We will make use of your responses to create a more vibrant and open dialogue.
Please take a moment to take our survey. Your responses are completely anonymous.

* Indicates required question
We all know people who have gotten very depressed when they’ve lost a loved one, children who cannot sit still in school, and lots of folks who are angry and demoralized about not finding a job. Do you think any of these people need to get a diagnosis in order to get help? Why or why not?
Your answer
Do we need to relate to people seeking psychological help as having brain disorders or chemical imbalances? Why?
Your answer
Are there other ways to support people emotionally? What do you think could help them?
Your answer
Right now, in order to get help in most settings (clinics, hospitals or private practices), with ANY kind of emotional distress, the mental health professional is required to give you a diagnosis. Do you agree with that? Why or why not?
Your answer
Some people say that when people get a psychiatric diagnosis, it can be helpful and others say it can be harmful. What do you think?
Your answer
Are you aware of any therapeutic approaches or mental health professionals who don’t use diagnosis?
Your answer
Do you have any other thoughts you would like to share with mental health professionals around the world who are exploring alternatives to diagnosis and developing ways to help people emotionally? What would like to say to them?
