This is a health tool that evaluates the
severity of behavioral and emotional
symptoms that are correlated with
depression, anxiety disorder and
stress.
There are 21 items that need to be
scored as listed below and the test
usually takes around 3 to 5 minutes.
The assessor advises the patient to
consider what they have experienced
in the past week as well as at the
present and to choose the answer
that first comes in mind.
■ Depression symptoms related
items: 3, 5, 10, 13, 16, 17, 21.
■ Anxiety disorder related items: 2, 4,
7, 9, 15, 19, 20.
■ Stress related items: 1, 6, 8, 11, 12,
14, 18.
The DASS 21 depression anxiety
stress test is not a diagnosis mean by

The 21 item Depression Anxiety
Stress Scale questionnaire is used as
a quantitative measure of distress
along the 3 axes of depression,
anxiety and stress reactions and
management. Each of the questions
is rated from 0 to 3. Therefore each of
the axes presents partial scores of 0
to 18-24 depending on the number of
questions assigned.
There have been created cut off
points for each of the severity
categories, however, these should be
cautiously used in conjunction to
other clinical and observational data
and are described in the table below:

Level/Disorder Depression Anxiety Stress

Normal 0-4 0-3 0-7

Mild 5-6 4-5 8-9

Moderate 7 - 10 6-7 10 - 12

Severe 11 - 13 8-9 13 - 16

Extremely severe ≥ 14 ≥ 10 ≥ 17
