As with any questionnaire this would not be aiming to capture every detail, it would be used as a potential flag for further information. Totally understand what your saying Keith but sometimes gathering such information can be used to support the requirement for such training ie if the company doe...

I think it's too big and broad a subject to be included in a general health questionnaire. You either have few very direct questions such as you might be asked by a nurse at a screening medical, e.g. Have you ever felt depressed? Have you ever considered self harm? OR, you have to have numerous que...

Surprised by the lack of response to this post...............are people/companies steering clear of mental health from a health/medical questionnaire point of view?

We don't have thermometers around as such (nothing to display the temperature at location) but do have temperature sensors that feed back to our hea...
