The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21)

Developed by researchers Lovibond and Lovibond at the University of New South Wales, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) is a well-established, self-administered instrument with 21 statements that help people define, understand, and measure clinically significant emotional states. The authors conceptualize this scale as a dimensional, rather than a categorical, measure of psychological disorder.
