How to Rate Your Level of Anxiety
We all experience some anxiety from time to time. However, some people deal with an uncontrollable amount of anxiety that it interferes with their daily lives. Rating your level of anxiety can help you determine how much anxiety you are dealing with, and whether you would benefit from professional help. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale is commonly used to rate anxiety: using a scale from one to four (one being the least and four being the greatest) on the amount of interference each symptom has in your life can determine how severe your anxiety is.
Anxious Mood
Rate your anxious mood. An anxious mood is the emotional condition of being uncertain about the future. Feelings associated with an anxious mood include worry, insecurity, irritability, apprehension and dread. Severe anxious mood interferes with your daily life.
Tension
Rate your level of tension. During the week, how much time do you spend being unable to relax or nervous? Tension also includes trembling, restless fatigue and tension throughout the body. Severe tension can disrupt your normal activity.
Fears
Rate your fears.
