(Scales in Psychiatry) Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - PANSS: Dr Riya Gupta

PANSS stands for Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (also known as the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale for Schizophrenia). It is a widely used, clinician-administered rating scale in psychiatry, considered the gold standard for assessing symptom severity in schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Developed in 1987 by Stanley Kay, Lewis Opler, and Abraham Fiszbein, it is extensively employed in clinical trials of antipsychotics, research, and clinical practice to measure treatment response and psychopathology.
