if the questions or results cause me distress...

So I'm taking this survey online.   Purely personal business, no corporate secrets being disclosed.  I get this as part of the initial information before I can even get started ...


"If the survey questions or results of the survey cause me any distress, I may contact the National Mental Health Association at 800-969-6642. "
