A self-administered assessment used to detect possible symptoms of panic disorder and suggest the need for a formal diagnostic assessment. It consists of seven items (which are rated from 0-4). The items assess panic frequency, distress during panic, panic-focused anticipatory anxiety, phobic avoidance of situations, phobic avoidance of physical sensations, impairment in work functioning, and impairment in social functioning. The overall assessment is made by a total score, which is calculated by summing the scores for all seven items. The total scores range from 0 to 28. The PDSS-SR is used for screening and the scores 9 and above suggest the need for a formal diagnostic assessment. (Adapted from Wikipedia)

http://psychology-tools.com/cage-alcohol-questionaire/

4-item questionnaire, where the name is an acronym of its four questions, that can indicate potential problems with alcohol abuse and has been extensively validated for use in identifying alcoholism. It has been determined that CAGE test scores >=2 had a specificity of 76% and a sensitivity of 93% for the identification of excessive drinking and a specificity of 77% and a sensitivity of 91% for the identification of alcoholism. The most important question in the questionnaire is the use of a drink as an Eye Opener, so much so that some clinicians use a yes to this question alone as a positive to the questionnaire; this is due to the fact that the use of an alcoholic drink as an Eye Opener denotes abuse since the patient is going through withdrawal in the morning, hence the need for a drink as an Eye Opener.(Adapted from Wikipedia) Scoring: * 2 (or more) yes responses indicates the possibility of alcoholism

http://psychology-tools.com/young-mania-rating-scale

An eleven-item, multiple-choice diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of manic episodes in patients. The scale was originally developed for use in the evaluation of adult patients who were suffering from bipolar disorder, but has since been modified for use in pediatric patients. A similar scale was then developed to allow clinicians to interview parents about their children's symptoms, in order to ascertain a better diagnosis of mania in children. Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the parent version of the scale. The scale provided is in a slightly reworded form as a self-assessment. This may not be as accurate when self-administered, as people suffering from mania are often unable to properly assess relevant outward symptoms.

https://pdbp.ninds.nih.gov/assets/crfs/Hamilton%20Anxiety%20Rating%20Scale%20(HAM-A).pdf

Assessment scale to assess the severity of symptoms of anxiety in adults, adolescents and children. The scale consists of 14 items, each defined by a series of symptoms, and measures both psychic anxiety (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints related to anxiety). Although the HAM-A remains widely used as an outcome measure in clinical trials, it has been criticized for its sometimes poor ability to discriminate between anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, and somatic anxiety versus somatic side effects. The HAM-A does not provide any standardized probe questions. Despite this, the reported levels of inter-rater reliability for the scale appear to be acceptable. The scale has been translated into: Cantonese for China, French and Spanish. An IVR version of the scale is available from Healthcare Technology Systems.

http://www.teenmentalhealth.org/images/resources/CAPN_11Item_KADS.pdf

A psychological self-rating scale developed by Dalhousie University professor of psychiatry Stan Kutcher, to assess the level of depression in adolescents. While there are some variations, the 11-item version of the KADS is the most commonly used and most thoroughly verified for efficacy in monitoring outcomes in adolescents who are receiving treatment for major depressive disorder. Its items are worded using standard and colloquial terminology, and responses are scored on a simple 4 choice scale. There are ten questions about depression symptom frequency that the patient rates on a straight 4 point scale according to the following choices: hardly ever, much of the time, most of the time, all the time, and one question relating to the severity of suicidal ideation. Scores on the test range from 0 to 33. Unlike some rating scales, there is no threshold for sub-clinical presentation, or ranges for mild, moderate, and severe symptoms. Higher scores simply indicate more severe current depression symptoms. (Adapted from Wikipedia)
