The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) helps assess quantitatively the severity of the anxiety syndrome. The Hamilton test is often used to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-anxiety drugs. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale consists of 14 indicators, and each one is determined by a number of symptoms. Each indicator is scored on a 5-point scale from 0 (none) to 4 (severe).
