On the GAF scale, what does a score of 100 to 91 indicate?

A score of 100 to 91 on the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale indicates superior functioning with no symptoms. The GAF scale is used to assess an individual's overall psychological, social, and occupational functioning on a continuum from 0 to 100.

Individuals who score within this range typically demonstrate a high level of functioning in various aspects of their lives, including relationships, work, and daily activities. They may face stressors but do not experience significant symptoms or impairment that would interfere with their overall functioning. This high score reflects not only the absence of psychological symptoms but also the capacity to adapt, cope, and thrive in their environment, highlighting their resilience and well-being.

Scores on the GAF below this range would suggest various levels of impairment or deterioration in performance, but the range of 100 to 91 specifically affirms an individual’s optimal mental health status with effective functioning.
