PPAG
Phobia, Panic, and Generalized Anxiety (PPAG)
The Phobia, Panic, and Generalized Anxiety (PPAG) test is a psychometric tool designed to assess the presence and intensity of anxiety disorders. It identifies symptoms related to specific phobias, characterized by irrational fears of certain objects or situations. It also measures panic disorder, marked by sudden panic attacks, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), which manifests as excessive and persistent worry. The scale can be repeated to compare a baseline, a treatment period, and a follow-up. It corresponds to the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-IV.
