Panic and Agoraphobia Scale (PAS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
When a patient reports panic attacks or begins to avoid situations due to fear of being unable to get help or escape, a brief severity rating can clarify current functional impact. The Panic and Agoraphobia Scale (PAS) is a clinician-rated instrument designed to quantify the severity of symptoms associated with panic and agoraphobic avoidance.
It includes 13 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. The measure assesses core domains such as frequency and intensity of panic symptoms, anticipatory anxiety and situational fear, avoidance behavior, and associated impairment in daily activities. Scores can support initial clinical characterization and provide a structured way to monitor change over time with treatment. The Panic and Agoraphobia Scale (PAS) was developed by Bandelow, B.
