Pain clinic

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale

Pain-clinic emotional distress review alongside physical pain assessment.

How Lirena uses HADS

Lirena presents HADS as a structured assessment workflow with assignment, completion, deterministic scoring support, and clinician-reviewed output. The public page describes metadata and operational use only; it does not reproduce protected item wording beyond approved source material.

  • 14 item workflow
  • Patient response pathway
  • Score range 0-42

Clinical boundary

HADS outputs require clinician review and do not diagnose anxiety or depression.

Assessment scores support clinical review, formulation, documentation, and follow-up. They do not diagnose a condition by themselves.

Governance notes

Clinics should verify official wording, licences, scoring manuals, local policy, and clinician competency before using an instrument in production.

HADS is copyrighted and published by GL Assessment/Mapi; official item wording is not reproduced.
