This tool is designed to help you learn the basics of how anxiety and depression is diagnosed by therapists who use the DSM. We include an assessment using the DSM criteria to help you decide if you need to seek professional help. In addition, we include ways anxiety and depression are treated and help you understand your options.
This tool is based on the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM-5) criteria for depression and anxiety. Specifically, the tool uses the DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure - Adult.
