These tests are for screening. A result is not a diagnosis: only a psychiatrist or psychologist can make one, after talking with you.
Your answers are scored on this device and never sent. Only your result is saved, with the email address you confirm.
Confirm your email address
Before the test we send a 6-digit code to your email address. Your result is saved with it, so that our team can help you if you wish. The email with the code contains no health information.
Think about the last 7 days and mark how often each statement was true for you.
Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
None or minimal
You reported no, or very few, panic-related symptoms over the last 7 days. If panic attacks become a problem in the future, you can consult a specialist.
Mild
You reported mild panic symptoms over the last 7 days. If the symptoms continue or start to restrict your daily life, it would be worth consulting a psychiatrist.
Moderate
You reported moderate panic symptoms over the last 7 days. Symptoms at this level often affect daily life; since panic disorder can be treated effectively, we recommend that you see a psychiatrist.
Severe
You reported severe panic symptoms over the last 7 days. We recommend that you see a psychiatrist soon; with the right treatment, panic symptoms can ease considerably.
Extreme
You reported extreme panic symptoms over the last 7 days. We recommend that you see a psychiatrist soon; panic disorder is treatable, and the symptoms can ease considerably with the right care.

Take your result as a rough guide, not a diagnosis. How you feel over time, and a conversation with a specialist, tell much more than a questionnaire.
Talk it through with a specialist
If your result worries you, or you would like to talk it through, our psychiatrists can review it with you, free and without obligation.
