What is the HADS?
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a widely used psychometric assessment in pain clinic clinical practice. Clinics use it to collect structured patient responses that support clinical review and documentation.

Clinicians in pain clinic settings use the HADS as part of intake, assessment, and outcome monitoring workflows. It provides structured evidence to support clinical judgement.
