Method evidence record

Panic Disorder Severity Scale

The Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS) is a brief 7-item clinician-administered scale designed to measure the severity of panic disorder symptoms, including panic attack frequency, distress, anxiety anticipation, agoraphobic avoidance, and interoceptive fear. Developed by Shear, Brown, Barlow, and collaborators in 1997, the PDSS has become the standard assessment tool for panic disorder severity in clinical trials, research, and routine practice.
