WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Anxiety and Depression Test - Symptoms and Signs

depression

uneasiness

This brief self-report screening measure is designed to support rapid characterization of common anxiety and depressive symptoms. Anxiety and Depression consists of 20 items and is typically completed in about 4 minutes. It may be used to inform initial clinical impressions and to track symptom change over time in counseling or therapy contexts.

Item responses provide an estimate of current symptom burden across core internalizing domains, supporting discussion of emotional distress and related somatic or cognitive complaints. In routine practice, Anxiety and Depression is best interpreted alongside clinical interview findings and other relevant assessment data. Authorship is listed as Aaron T. Beck and David A. Clark.
