ScreenNOW vs. virtual therapy
Start with your mental health.
Then add metabolic health + coaching.
Most people who wonder if they need therapy actually need clarity — a clear picture of their anxiety, mood, stress, and how it connects to weight, sleep, and blood sugar. ScreenNOW gives you validated mental health screeners, metabolic health insights, and 24/7 AI coaching for a fraction of what virtual counseling costs. Walk into a real therapist only if you actually need one — and walk in informed.
Mental health clarity first
Anxiety, depression, and stress often show up before people realize they need help. ScreenNOW starts with clinically validated screeners — PHQ-9, GAD-7, and 20+ more — so you know exactly where you stand before deciding whether therapy is the right next step.

Then connect the dots to metabolic health
Mental health and metabolic health are deeply linked. Poor sleep, chronic stress, and anxiety drive weight gain, blood sugar spikes, and inflammation. ScreenNOW doesn't stop at your mood — it maps how your mind and body interact, then puts an AI coach in your corner 24/7 to help you improve both.

When you should see a clinician
ScreenNOW is not therapy and doesn't replace one. If you're in crisis, having thoughts of self-harm, or need diagnosis or medication, please reach out to a licensed professional. What ScreenNOW does is help everyone else — the millions of people who want to understand their mental health, see how it connects to their metabolic health, and get on-demand coaching support without spending thousands a year.
Mental clarity first. Metabolic health too. Save the difference.
