HADS

Program to assess the level of anxiety and depression on HADS

ATTENTION! This program is a professional medical calculator and intended for use only health care professionals.

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was originally developed by Zigmond and Snaith (1983) and is commonly used by doctors to determine the levels of anxiety and depression that a patient is experiencing. The HADS is a fourteen item scale that generates ordinal data. Seven of the items relate to anxiety and seven relate to depression. Zigmond and Snaith created this outcome measure specifically to avoid reliance on aspects of these conditions that are also common somatic symptoms of illness, for example fatigue and insomnia or hypersomnia. This, it was hoped, would create a tool for the detection of anxiety and depression in people with physical health problems.

The proper support for devices with different screen sizes (including tablet PC) has been done.

The application is available in the following languages:

- English

- Russian
