GAD<unk>  assessment example The<unk>  (DAS-A) questionnaire was specifically developed to detect reduction of<unk> <unk>  in patients with generalized<unk>  disorder (GAD) during the first week of treatment. It is also meant to help those suffering from certain<unk>  identify and recognize that they are experiencing<unk> . This assessment can often reduce<unk>  in patients due to the diagnosis and results at the end. The original version of the instrument was designed for use in clinical trials assessing new pharmaceutical treatments for patients with GAD. The instrument is able to detect<unk> changes within 24 hours of treatment. Currently,2009 this is the only GAD specific tool validated to assess<unk> improvement sooner than one week following treatment initiation. "We all deal with<unk> . At times it can be a good thing; it helps us meet deadlines and to know when we’re in danger. Other times, it can be a nuisance.If you experience<unk>  on a regular basis that interrupts your<unk>  activities, you may suffer from an<unk>  disorder."<unk> - "The key to this disorder is an excessive amount of<unk> . Someone with GAD would worry excessively about finances, losing their job, the car breaking down, whether they are being a good parent, and coping with difficulties that arise."

Interpretation- "When screening for<unk> , a score of 8 or greater represents a reasonable point for identifying probable cases of generalized<unk>  disorder; further diagnostic assessment is warranted to determine the presence and type of<unk>  disorder. Using a cut-off of 8 the GAD-7 has a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 76% for diagnosis generalized<unk>  disorder. 2,3 The following cut-offs correlate with level of<unk>  severity: Score 0-4: Minimal<unk>  Score 5-9: Mild<unk>  Score 10-14: Moderate<unk>  Score greater than 15: Severe<unk>  Based on a recent meta-analysis, some experts have recommended considering using a cut-off of 8 in order to optimize sensitivity without compromising specificity2." "Completing a screening will help you determine if your recent thoughts or behaviors may be associated with a common, treatable mental health or substance use issue. Each screening only takes a few minutes to complete. At the end you will see your results and any recommended resources." History- "The GAD-7 was developed by Drs. Robert L. Spitzer, Janet B.W.
