RCADS - Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale - Self-Reported (8-18)

The Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) is a 47-item self-report measure designed to assess anxiety and depressive symptoms in children and adolescents ages 8–18. It evaluates six symptom domains corresponding to DSM-IV diagnostic categories: separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and major depressive disorder. The measure also provides Total Anxiety and Total Internalizing scores and is used for screening, symptom assessment, and monitoring treatment progress.
