Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)

The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is a standardized questionnaire designed to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms a person is experiencing. It consists of a series of questions about common anxiety symptoms, like feeling nervous, fear, or physical sensations such as a pounding heart or sweating. The individual rates how much they've experienced each symptom over the past week. The results help healthcare providers understand the intensity of anxiety and monitor changes over time, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. It is a widely used, reliable tool for assessing anxiety levels in both clinical and research settings.
