ADIS-5
Anxiety and Related Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-5 (ADIS-5)
The ADIS-5 is a benchmark semi-structured diagnostic interview used by psychologists and other clinicians to assess anxiety disorders and related disorders according to DSM-5 criteria. It allows an in-depth exploration of symptoms, differential diagnosis, comorbidities, avoidance, subjective distress and functional impact. Widely used in specialized clinical practice and in research, this tool helps establish reliable diagnoses, prioritize clinical problems and guide treatment decisions. Its modular structure allows the administration to be tailored to the symptoms present, which makes it a particularly relevant instrument for the comprehensive assessment of anxiety disorders in adults.

Scoring & interpretation
The clinician conducts a semi-structured interview, checks the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for each disorder explored and assigns a Clinician Severity Rating (CSR) from 0 to 8. A CSR of 4 or higher is generally considered to indicate a clinically significant disorder. Interpretation is based on the presence of the criteria, symptom intensity, chronicity, avoidance, functional impairment and comorbidities. The number of questions varies according to the modules administered.
