Beck Anxiety Scale
The methodology helps to identify the presence of anxiety and its severity.
Instructions: This questionnaire consists of 21 items, each with four possible answers. Please select one of the possible answers for each item that best describes how you have been feeling over the past two weeks, including today. Do not think too long, because your first answer that comes to mind is important.

THE RESULTS
Results processing: the total amount of points is calculated. Points are awarded for answers:
0 points - not at all
1 point - slightly disturbing
2 points - moderately worrying
3 points - very worrying
0-5: Normal
Congratulations, you are completely free of anxiety, and this is a good result. Keep calm and balance - these are very valuable qualities in our turbulent times.
6-8: Mild anxiety level
It's a good result in today's world, because sometimes this state helps us to critically reflect on the events around us. Try to analyze the most disturbing situations and find the best solutions.
9-18: Average level of anxiety
You are often in an unpleasant emotional state and expect unfavorable developments; bad premonitions, fear, tension, and excitement are common. Try to master “looking inward,” to realize thoughts as just thoughts, not as the absolute truth about what is really happening. Distract yourself from “heavy” thoughts by focusing your attention on what is pleasing to the eye - for example, start looking closely at beautiful landscapes or pictures in a magazine. Take care of your health: healthy sleep and a healthy diet are the best helpers.
19 points or more: High level of anxiety
You often worry about insignificant things, even though you are aware of it. Excessive anxiety depletes the nervous system - you may experience increased excitability, tension, sleep disturbances, irritability or lethargy, and feel hopeless, despair, and even doom. This is an extremely threatening condition that is almost impossible to overcome on your own. Our advice is to consult a psychologist or psychotherapist as soon as possible, so you can avoid possible psycho-emotional disorders.
