Adult - Anxiety Scale

1) Do you tend to worry about things much more frequently than others?

2) Does it seem as though your mind "looks for things to worry about" or is constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop?

3) When you become aware of your worry thoughts do you find it difficult to begin thinking about something else?

4) Do you worry thoughts interfere with your daily life (do you find yourself worrying when you should be doing other things)?

5) Do you become excessively irritable when you feel stressed or worried?

6) Is the quality of your sleep affected by your "worry thoughts" (do you find that worry thoughts keep you awake at night)?

7) Do you day dream or imagine how things could potentially go wrong?

8) Are you often fearful or afraid in new situations?

9) Do you have difficulty concentrating or remembering important information as a result of your worry thoughts?
