 Severity of Benzodiazepine Dependence Scale


Since it is our intention to help you, we have selected, from the myriad of questionnaires, the best researched for our purpose. In this case, the questionnaire will tell you whether you should seek specialized advice. Of course, this result will never substitute for the opinion of your physician or mental health specialist.

"Now I am going to ask you some questions about your use of Benzodiazepine during the past year."
 
Tag the right answers

0 Never / almost never
1 Sometimes

Add the scores for all items. A score of 3 or greater may indicate the need for a more in-depth assessment by your specialist. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of dependence.
