A numerical assessment, on a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being the highest score, of the patient’s overall symptomatology and psychological, social, and occupational functioning on a hypothetical continuum of mental health–illness.
A tool rating a person’s social, occupational, and psychological functioning. The scale rates from high functioning (i.e., highly adapted and integrated to one’s environment) to poorly functioning (i.e., self-destructive, homicidal, isolated, or lacking the rudiments of self-care). There is a children’s version of the scale, called the Children’s Global Assessment of Functioning (CGAF).
