GLOBAL ACTIVITY EVALUATION SCALE (GAES)*
Note: assign a single value (between 0 and 100), taking into account the severity of the symptoms and the level of activity. Reflect the time period to which it refers.
100... Satisfactory activity in a wide range of activities, never seems overwhelmed by the problems of life, is valued by others because of their
...91 abundant positive qualities. No symptoms.
Absent or minimal symptoms (e.g., slight anxiety before an exam), good activity in all areas, interested and involved in a wide range of
90... activities, socially effective, generally satisfied with their life, with no more worries or problems than the everyday ones (for example, an occasional argument with
...81 family members.
If symptoms exist, they are transitory and constitute expected reactions to psychosocial stressors (e.g., difficulties concentrating after a
80... family discussion); there is only a slight alteration in social, work, or school activity (e.g., temporary decrease in academic performance).
...71
