Scale Introduction
Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) free online test. Developed by Hamilton in 1959, HAMA was one of the earliest clinical scales widely used in psychiatry, containing 14 items. It is commonly employed in clinical settings for anxiety disorder diagnosis and severity assessment.
Important note: This is a clinician-rated scale typically completed by healthcare professionals. However, as it contains minimal subjective evaluation items, you may also use it for self-assessment reference based on your symptoms.
