One in eight individuals lives with a mental disorder worldwide, according to 2019 statistics from the World Health Organization. This number rose significantly during the pandemic, with estimates showing a 26% increase in anxiety specifically. In spite of the prevalence of anxiety disorders, many patients do not seek help for their condition due to stigma and lack of access to mental healthcare - something that Mission Connection aims to address with its online screening tools.
Individuals who suspect that they have anxiety can take Mission Connection’s GAD-7 test, a self-report questionnaire that is partially derived from the DSM-V criteria for general anxiety disorder (GAD). The questionnaire works by measuring the patient’s symptoms over a two-week period through simple questions, with the final score determining the severity of their anxiety. The tool can also be used to screen for other related disorders, including panic, social anxiety, and PTSD.
If the patient’s results indicate that they have moderate or severe anxiety, Mission Connection strongly recommends that they seek professional help to prevent their disorder from worsening. Upon completion of the GAD-7 test, patients will be given the option to request Mission Connection’s individual or group therapy, psychiatry, or a combination of the aforementioned services. The treatment center will then match the individual with a licensed therapist, who will help them develop coping strategies to manage their symptoms and understand the underlying causes of their anxiety.
If cost is a concern, Mission Connection offers various options to help make treatment more affordable. The company accepts insurance from most major providers, including Cigna and Magellan, and they can also arrange for sliding scale fees or community resources based on income. Patients with additional concerns are encouraged to communicate with Mission Connection’s staff to ensure they receive a payment schedule suitable for their circumstances.
