Bohn [11] developed the mnemonic device “Does Mr. Fisc
worry

endorsed by the patient,the clinician uses the mnemonic “Mr.
Fisc” to determineif 3 or more of the associated motor tension

symptoms: M = muscle tension, R = restlessness,F = fatigue,
I = irritability, S = sleep (difficulty falling asleep),and C = concentration (difficulty concentrating).
