Anxiety Symptom Screener

The Anxiety Symptom Screener is designed to determine whether a person presently has or is at risk for developing an anxiety disorder.

Purpose

The Anger Management Questionnaire assesses how a person deals with anger-inducing situations of various intensity and significance.

What It’s Best Used For

This tool is primarily designed for therapy, counseling, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) to help clinical professionals identify individuals who may require mental health support or early intervention.

• Tracking 5 Core Dimensions: It breaks down scores into crucial clinical categories, including generalized anxiety (excessive, unrealistic worry), ruminations (distressing, repetitive thoughts), and existential anxiety (stress regarding self-acceptance or mortality).
• Identifying Physical Manifestations: The assessment tracks physical symptoms commonly associated with psychological strain, such as muscle tension, fatigue, digestive problems, and heart palpitations.
• Delivering Detailed Clinical Insights: The platform generates an immediate online report complete with score graphs, an introductory analysis, a detailed narrative interpretation, and a dedicated breakdown of specific “areas of concern” to guide practitioners in their follow-up discussions.
• Rigorous Standardization: Backed by high statistical reliability (a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.94 across a sample size of over 7,700 individuals), the test compares results against norms for both the general population and clinical groups diagnosed with anxiety.
