Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS)

The Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS), specifically the longer child-version, should take 10-15 to accomplish.

Interpretation involves a T-scale considering the child’s grade and gender. For instructions on scoring and interpreting, please refer to the paragraph in the first section.

Practitioners who recognize, diagnose, and/or treat depression and anxiety in children, such as general practitioners, child pediatricians, child psychiatrists, child psychologists, and counselors, can use the Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS).
