MY MENTAL HEALTH / LMSM Take care of your mind

My Mental Health is a  digital tool promoted by the Department of Health of the Generalitat  , where anyone who suspects they have problems related to their  emotional well-being  can  self-assess and receive personalized recommendations  that guide them on  the best path to follow  .

/ LMSM consists of  4  interconnected  functionalities that encourage action  :

1. Digital Self-Assessment

Complete the test  anonymously to  learn about your mental health  and receive professionally endorsed recommendations based on your answers. You can  download the  self-assessment report and, if the results indicate it,  bring it to your appointment with your doctor  .

2. Learn about the disorders

Access  informative videos  about the most common mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, with  clear explanations from  clinical specialists on when and how to ask for help. You’ll also find testimonials from  people who have experienced similar situations  .

3. Carefully

Practice the guidelines provided through short videos with evidence-based tools and techniques to improve sleep, nutrition, stress management, and thought patterns, among other things. You’ll also find a  detailed action plan  to address alcohol and tobacco use.

4. Community map

Find workshops,  support groups, and activities near you  that will make it easier to get active or relax, creating a social network with like-minded people. Simple but key steps to protect and  strengthen your emotional well-being  , according to science.

My Mental Health is a digital solution that  responds to needs  demanded by users, suitable for  adults and young adults  as well as for  teenagers  and for  parents  or guardians of children.

It is a screening, psychoeducation and prevention tool that addresses the  8  most prevalent  mental disorders in society, as well as 7 basic areas of self-care  for mental and physical health.

It is a  web app accessible from mobile phones and computers  , also useful for caregivers and healthcare professionals as a tool to  support routine clinical practice  , especially in the field of  Primary Care  .

Although self-assessment does not replace medical judgment,  the patient comes to the visit with unbiased  and objective information about their problem, based on  validated clinical scales  , contributing to facilitating diagnosis and  accuracy in referral  .

All the  recommendations in the report  , which the person receives anonymously, are  designed by professionals  and connected with other instruments of the  public health network  , such as the My Health app, or, in cases of detection of high risk, with the Medical Emergency Service-061.

LMSM empowers its users  , promoting self-management of early symptoms, reducing social stigma, and becoming a  complementary digital health tool  for professionals, which also contributes to  optimizing the use of resources  and improving the overall functioning of the healthcare system.
