MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT

SOMATIC SYMPTOM ASSESSMENT

Level 2 – Adult

The DSM-5 Level 2—Somatic Symptom—Adult measure is an adaptation of the 15-item Patient Health Questionnaire Physical Symptoms (PHQ-15) that assesses the domain of somatic symptoms.

The measure is completed by the individual (or his or her informant) prior to a visit with the clinician.

If the individual is of impaired capacity and unable to complete the form (e.g., an individual with dementia), a knowledgeable informant may complete the measure.

Each item asks the individual to rate the severity of the individual’s somatic symptom during the past 7 days.

CHOOSE THE ONE STATEMENT IN EACH GROUP THAT BEST DESCRIBES THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN FEELING FOR THE PAST WEEK.

Many people experience the symptoms or characteristics on these assessments at various points in time. Having some symptoms or characteristics does not necessarily mean you have a disorder. For these symptoms to be considered a psychological disorder, they must cause significant impairment in functioning.

This is another reason why evaluation by a health professional is essential and these assessments are just a first step
