    Scoring and Interpretation Information


    In scoring the Panic Disorder Severity Scale, items are rated on a
    scale of 0 to 4. A composite score is established by averaging the
    scores of the seven items. This composite score indicates, on
    average, how the test taker responded to each question, higher
    scores indicating a higher severity of panic disorder. Raw scores
    range from 0 to 28 and composite scores range from 0-4. This test is
    not diagnostic; however a score of 9 and above suggest the need
    for a formal diagnostic assessment. Scores are sensitive to change
    after psychological treatment.

    If you had any panic attacks during the past week, how distressing (uncomfortable, frightening)
    were they while they were happening? (If you had more than one, give an average rating. If you
    2
    didn't have any panic attacks but did have limited symptom attacks, answer for the limited
    symptom attacks.)
    0 Not at all distressing, or no panic or limited symptom attacks during the past week
    1 Mildly distressing (not too intense)
    2 Moderately distressing (intense, but still manageable)
    3 Severely distressing (very intense)
    4 Extremely distressing (extreme distress during all attacks)
    During the past week, how much have you worried or felt anxious about when your next panic
    3 attack would occur or about fears related to the attacks (for example, that they could mean you
    have physical or mental health problems or could cause you social embarrassment)?
    0 Not at all
    1 Occasionally or only mildly
    2 Frequently or moderately
    3 Very often or to a very disturbing degree
    4 Nearly constantly and to a disabling extent
    During the past week were there any places or situations (e.g., public transportation, movie
    theaters, crowds, bridges, tunnels, shopping malls, being alone) you avoided, or felt afraid of
    (uncomfortable in, wanted to avoid or leave), because of fear of having a panic attack? Are there
    4
    any other situations that you would have avoided or been afraid of if they had come up during the
    week, for the same reason? If yes to either question, please rate your level of fear and avoidance
    this past week.
    0 None: no fear or avoidance
    1 Mild: occasional fear and/or avoidance but I could usually confront or endure the situation.
    There was little or no modification of my lifestyle due to this
    2 Moderate: noticeable fear and/or avoidance but still manageable. I avoided some
    situations, but I could confront them with a companion. There was some modification of
    my lifestyle because of this, but my overall functioning was not impaired
    3 Severe: extensive avoidance. Substantial modification of my lifestyle was required to
    accommodate the avoidance making it difficult to manage usual activities
    4 Extreme: pervasive disabling fear and/or avoidance. Extensive modification in my lifestyle
    was required such that important tasks were not performed
    During the past week, were there any activities (e.g., physical exertion, sexual relations, taking a
    hot shower or bath, drinking coffee, watching an exciting or scary movie) that you avoided, or felt
    afraid of (uncomfortable doing, wanted to avoid or stop), because they caused physical
    5 sensations like those you feel during panic attacks or that you were afraid might trigger a panic
    attack? Are there any other activities that you would have avoided or been afraid of if they had
    come up during the week for that reason? If yes to either question, please rate your level of fear
    and avoidance of those activities this past week.
    0 No fear or avoidance of situations or activities because of distressing physical sensations
    1 Mild: occasional fear and/or avoidance, but usually I could confront or endure with little distress
    activities that cause physical sensations. There was little modification of my lifestyle due to this
    2 Moderate: noticeable avoidance but still manageable. There was definite, but limited,
    modification of my lifestyle such that my overall functioning was not impaired
    3 Severe: extensive avoidance. There was substantial modification of my lifestyle or
    interference in my functioning
    4 Extreme: pervasive and disabling avoidance. There was extensive modification in my lifestyle due to this such
    that important tasks or activities were not performed
