Peer review

 * Hi Phdstudent13! I thought you did a great job with creating this section on Diagnosis for your article. It read well and was very informative. You managed to incorporate a very comprehensive list of assessment tools and questionnaires that are used in the field to diagnose anxiety, which I thought was great. In addition, it super informative that you added a piece about diagnosis of anxiety when it may be comorbid with depression and how some anxiety symptoms can be detected using other questionnaires that are not targeted at picking up anxiety only. One comment I have is that you may want to consider adding information about how the information from the different screeners and questionnaires are used. For example, does the screener measure severity of a classified mental disorder? (DSM-5 GAD? ICD-11 Social Anxiety?) or does the screener measure symptoms of anxiety (state anxiety, trait anxiety, or general anxiety level). This would give important information about the implications and clinical utility of the screener (when would you use it and how effective would it be?). Another small comment is that I noticed that some of your measures (e.g. BAI, GAD-7) were linked to a supplementary description (awesome idea!) but others were not (e.g. SPIN, SPS). In order to maintain consistency, I would add supplementary descriptions to the other measures as well. Otherwise great job :) I really enjoyed reading this piece.
