Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS)
The RCADS (Chorpita et al., 2000) is intended to assess children's symptoms corresponding to selected DSM-IV anxiety and major depressive disorders. The full RCADS is 47-items and has 6 subscales, however the scale included here is 40-items and only includes 5 subscales (generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder). The scale is scored on a 4-point Likert scale describing how often symptoms are experienced (0=never, 3=always).Related Article
