Hospital anxiety and depression scale composite
This scale measures the feelings of anxiety and stress that one has experienced in the past week. It has a total of 14 questions, including 7 questions each for the Anxiety Scale (HADS-A) and the Depression Scale (HADS-D). It is measured on a 4-point Likert scale.
