Anxiety and DepressionHADS: A Medical Lifestyle App
Anxiety and DepressionHADS is a free medical lifestyle app developed by Luis Filipe Loureiro for Android devices. The app is designed to determine the levels of anxiety and depression in a person through the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Originally developed by Zigmond and Snaith in 1983, the HADS is a 14-item scale that consists of seven anxiety-related items and seven depression-related items.
The app allows users to answer each item on the questionnaire, which is scored from 0-3. This means that a person can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression. The app is user-friendly and provides a convenient way for individuals to determine their anxiety and depression levels. However, it is important to note that the app is not intended to replace medical advice or professional diagnosis. Overall, Anxiety and DepressionHADS is a useful tool for individuals looking to monitor their mental health and well-being.
