Question:

Is there an online screening test for anxiety disorders and/or depression?
What is the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA)?

Answer:

The clinical diagnosis of the different types of anxiety disorders and depression should not be limited to symptom lists or online screening. You should always consult your GP or a qualified doctor / psychotherapist to consider all aspects of your very personal situation in life, past experiences and ressources.

But, yes. There are some online screening tests avaiable. Here is a Canadian screening test that covers symptoms of anxiety and depression. One option is to get a print of the test result to discuss the results with your doctor!

The webpage offers additional tools (anxiety diary) and even a 12-step cognitive-behavioral therapy program for anxiety disorders.
