The HADS is a fourteen item scale that generates: Seven of the items relate to anxiety and seven relate to depression. The range of scores for anxiety is 0 to 21. A score of 0 is no anxiety. A score of 1-7 indicates some anxiety. A score of greater than or equal to 8 is the cut-off for clinical anxiety.
