1965 Jan. 12:63-70. David Bienenfeld, MD Professor, Departments of Psychiatry and Geriatric Medicine, Wright State University, Boonshoft School of Medicine Apart from its eminent position in the list of citations, the Hamilton scale1 plays a central role in medical practice and in the creation of therapeutic norms and health policies (Briffault and Martin 2011). Max Hamilton a le premier publié en 1960 … Finally, the number of values of Xi provides an initial indication of its variability. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V.

The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) was specifically developed for use in geriatric populations, originally as a 30-item scale. The standard version of the HRSD is designed to be administered by a trained clinician, and it contains 17 items rated on either a 3- or 5-point scale, with the sum of all items making up the total score. 1960 Feb. 23:56-62. He shows, in particular, how the tool is centered on the idea of the uniformity of the depression disorder: uniformity, first of all, in the sense that this measurement, designed using an overall score, reduces the characterization of the depression to the indistinct sum of the different symptoms, without ever investigating the possible interactions they may have with each other; further, uniformity in the sense that the depression here is assumed to arise from a universal manifestation that is insensible to any local variation, hypothesizing that this homogeneity in form responded to a cause that was itself unique and most probably biological; and, finally, uniformity in the sense that this scale, based on an overall rating, does not enable us to go beyond a generic diagnosis of the syndrome, proscribing, right there, any readings of interindividual variations of the disorder that might shed light on the clinical aspects of the particularities of depression that each patient experiences. A self-report depression scale for research in the general population. Barry A. Edelstein, ... Caroline M. Ciliberti, in Handbook of Assessment in Clinical Gerontology (Second Edition), 2010.

[6] The more common screening tools will be reviewed in this topic, including the following: Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD). Figure 3 displays the cumulative frequency distribution. 1988. [Medline]. Another observer-rating inventory that more often appears in European literature is the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS; Montgomery & Åsberg, 1979). Esketamine intranasal led to a 15.9- and 16.0-point decrease on the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) in each trial at 24 hours after the first dose of study medication. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A, sometimes termed HARS) [], dating back to 1959, is one of the first rating scales to measure the severity of perceived anxiety symptoms.It is still in use today, being considered one of the most widely used rating scales, and has been translated into Cantonese, French and Spanish. The severity of OCD symptoms was assessed with the YBOCS, which is a reliable and valid instrument widely used in clinical trials for OCD. One study found a 97% sensitivity and 99% specificity rate for identifying patients with major depression. In these trials, the evolutions of the overall score on the scale2 from the beginning of the trial to the end make it possible to quantify the efficacy of the tested treatment. The BDI-PC is a screening 7-item scale for primary care outpatients, with a cut-off of 4 points for major depression. This HAM-D scale is the oldest scale for depression. [Full Text]. Efficacy varies little between classes of antidepressants, and the advantages of the newer compounds such as SSRIs are based on their improved side-effect profile rather than their antidepressant efficacy (Table 7).2–5, Table 7. W Maier, R Buller, M Philipp, & I Heuser. 2000, 14, 3–20. On a more positive note, Korner et al. How to Use The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) is a widely used and well-validated tool for measuring the severity of … Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. [15], Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale is the most widely used interview scale, developed in 1960 to measure severity of depression in an inpatient population. 4:99-105. 1959. Moreover, patients who achieve a YBOCS score of ≤8 are regarded as recovered, and a score ≤16 means that patients are in remission. http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Document/RecommendationStatementFinal/depression-in-adults-screening1. The different phenotypes of depression, ranging from mild to severe forms of the illness, add to the ‘noise’ of the trial. [11] (The BDI is copyright protected and cannot be reproduced here. Rinaldi P, Mecocci P, Benedetti C, Ercolani S, Bregnocchi M, Menculini G. Validation of the five-item geriatric depression scale in elderly subjects in three different settings. It was modified a 15-item scale, which has been widely used. The Patient Health Questionnaire-2: validity of a two-item depression screener. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Antidepressant effect is assessed most often with the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (Hamilton, 1967) or the Montgomery–Asperg Depression Rating Scale (Montgomery and Asberg, 1979); both scales require an experienced clinician. Appl Psychol Measurement. The scale has been translated into: Cantonese for China, French and Spanish. The first column displays the values of Xi, in ascending order. Simon G, Von Korff M. Recognition and management of depression in primary care. Use of the Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care to screen for major depression disorders. The CES-D is often used in studies examining the well-being of participants in large-scale population surveys. Williams (1988) developed the Structured Interview Guide for the HRSD (SIGH–D) to address the problem of variability in inter-rater reliability resulting from the relatively unstructured nature of the original 17-item scale. About 50% of 11 patients stimulated at the NAcc responded significantly during the first 6 months and remained stable during follow-up of up to 4 years. Bech P, Rasmussen NA, Raabaek-Olsen L, Noerholm V, Abildgaard W. The sensitivity and specificity of the Major Depression Inventory, using the Present State Examination as the index of diagnostic validity. Scores greater than 24 are indicative of severe depression, and scores less than 7 are indicative of the absence of depression. The BDI-II is scored in the same manner as the BDI, but the cutoffs differ slightly. [Medline]. The symptoms should have been present nearly every day during the past 2 weeks. NRI, noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor; SRI, serotonin reuptake inhibitor, 5HT2, 5HT2 antagonist; 5HT3, 5HT3, antagonist; α1,/α2, α1 antagonist/α2 antagonist; RIMA, reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase-A; ++, relatively common or strong; +, may occur or moderately strong; – absent or rare/weak; ?, unknown/insufficient information. Kørner A, Lauritzen L, Abelskov K, Gulmann N, Marie Brodersen A, Wedervang-Jensen T, et al. More specifically, the YBOCS is a 10-item scale in which higher scores reflect symptoms that are more intense, and a score of 24 or more (out of a possible 40) is considered “severe” illness (Greenberg et al., 2010b). Der Test sei an die Hamilton Anxiety Scale und an den Abschnitt über Angst im Present-State-Examination-Interview angelehnt. A structured interview guide has been developed for the HRSD (SIGH-D; Williams, 1988) to standardize the way in which rating information is obtained; its use in older adults is unknown. [Medline]. Therapeutic Areas I: Central Nervous System, Pain, Metabolic Syndrome, Urology, Gastrointestinal and Cardiovascular. This has obviously had consequences on the contents of good practice recommendations that were drawn up based on published studies to recommend effective treatment. An inventory for measuring depression. The 17-item version is the most commonly used and contains somatic and suicidal ideation items, although it does not include all of the items that would be necessary for the diagnosis of a major depressive episode (e.g., sleep difficulties, weight gain). A PHQ-2 score of greater than 3 had a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 92% for major depression. There are a variety of tabular displays used to summarize data. In one study targeting Cg25/24, electrode position had an influence on antidepressant outcome (Puigdemont et al., 2011); among responders most patients had electrodes in Cg24. A new version of the HRSD was presented in Williams et al. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) have awarded $230 million to help a company scale up production of the first at-home coronavirus test. 26 Of note, 6 of the 7 items had the greatest divergent validity (ie, the highest difference between the item-total scale score correlation and item-PHQ-8 depression score correlation [Δ r = 0.16-0.21]). The items are scored from 0 to 3 and measure mood, pessimism, sense of failure, lack of satisfaction, guilty feelings, sense of punishment, self hate, self accusations, self-punitive wishes, crying spells, irritability, social withdrawal, indecisiveness, body image, work inhibition, sleep disturbance, fatigability, loss of appetite, weight loss, somatic preoccupation, and loss of libido. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. It can be purchased from Psychcorp.com.). 23:271-284. Other cell entries worth noting include the final number in the column of cumulative frequencies which should equal N and the final entry in the cumulative relative frequencies column, which should be equal to 100%. These scales, as well as the clinician-administered CES-D, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia have been widely validated. A significant increase in positive activities has been observed; thus an hedonic effect was achieved as well as an amelioration of quality of life (Bewernick et al., 2012). The GDRS probably requires less experience and training to administer than the HRSD and has good psychometric properties with hospitalized, outpatient, and community-dwelling older adults. Voici un test de dépression, l'Échelle de dépression de Hamilton 1, qui est l'un des plus utilisés par les professionnels de la santé pour évaluer l'évolution des symptômes lors du traitement (psychothérapie ou médicaments antidépresseurs) de la dépression. Nord J Psychiatry. The SDS has a key for scoring, with scores ranging from 1 to 4. The MADRS provides a short but reliable scale, optimized for rapid clinical use. In the second column, the total of the frequencies is displayed, the value of which should be equal to the sample size (N). The self-administered screening scale consists of 20 items, 16 negatively worded and 4 positively worded. US Preventive Services Task Force. Developed in 1959 by Dr. M. Hamilton, the scale has proven useful not only in following individual patients but also in research involving many patients. (2006) reported an inter-rater reliability of 0.90 in a geriatric sample. To meet regulatory requirements and approval in the US, Europe, and Japan, large clinical trials are required with at least 2500 patients (at a cost of around $15 000/patient based on 2005 figures). Screening should be implemented with adequate systems in place to ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and appropriate follow-up. Conventional clinical cutoff scores range from 14 to 20, with 17 being the most common in pharmacological research (see Reynolds & Kobak, 1991). There are also several brief screening questionnaires, including the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and the Patient Health Questionnaire. A 2002 literature review found that median sensitivity across 16 instruments, including the BDI, CES-D, SDS, and GDS, for major depression was 85%, ranging from 50% to 97%, while median specificity was 74%, ranging from 51% to 98%. 60(5):360-4. The items of the scale are symptoms associated with depression which have been used in previously validated longer scales. It includes 29 of the 30 items on the GDS and six somatic items to conform to RDC criteria. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria for major depression are reviewed below. 186(1):128-32. A score of greater than or equal to 2 is a positive screen for depression (see the images below). The sensitivity of the MDI algorithms is between 86% and 92%, while the specificity is between 82% and 86% (see the image below). CEOs from many of the world’s largest and most admired companies, joined with the American Heart Association to create the CEO Roundtable, dedicated to implementing evidence-based approaches to workplace health that focus on employee engagement and building a corporate culture of health. A SELF-RATING DEPRESSION SCALE. 286759-overview The CES-D scale is a short self-report scale designed to measure depressive symptomatology in the general population. At least 5 of the following symptoms have been present during the same 2-week period, represent a change from previous functioning, and include either depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure. The Major Depression Inventory (MDI) is a self-rating scale used for the diagnosis or measurement of depression, according to both DSM-IV major depression and ICD-10 moderate to severe depression criteria. A meta-analysis found sensitivity to be 80% and specificity of 92%. Scores of 0–7 are considered normal, and scores greater than or equal to 20 indicate moderately severe depression. The correlation between total scores and the severity of depression is provided in Table 8-2. The total of the fourth column should equal 100%. Diseases & Conditions, 2002 In these graphs, the x-axis of the graph represents the Xi values and the frequency data are represented on the y-axis. 1994 Jul. Arch Fam Med. This project is supported in part by the NIH Specialized Programs of Translational Research in Acute Stroke (SPOTRIAS) Network, and NINDS grant 3P50NS055977 to Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine and UT Southwestern Medical Center. The Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders.It was designed in 1979 by British and Swedish researchers as an adjunct to the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) which would be more sensitive to the … Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia. 16(4):267-76. This compared to a reduction of 12.0 and 12.2 points in the placebo plus comprehensive standard of care group. David Bienenfeld, MD is a member of the following medical societies: American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, Association for Academic PsychiatryDisclosure: Nothing to disclose. Figure 4. It is, in particular, the gold standard for measuring the severity of depression in clinical studies against a placebo. T1-weighted imaging with and without contrast enhancement, T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences were performed immediately after MRgFUS to detect the lesion. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (Hamilton, 1960; Hamilton, 1967) is a 17-item instrument that was designed to measure frequency and intensity of depressive symptoms in individuals with major depressive disorder. [4] An initial screen must be followed by a clinical interview to make the diagnosis of depression. The Geriatric Depression Scale and the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia: A validity study. 21(2):106-11. 2008). The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)7 is a widely used 21-item patient self-rating scale that can be completed in a few minutes. Retrospective analysis of completed antidepressant trials has revealed that four out of six trials do not differentiate from placebo.32, The limitations and challenges of antidepressant clinical trials are well documented and relate to several inherent variables; these include the spontaneous remission observed in the length of the normal 6- to 8-week clinical trial and the power of placebo in these studies. Gen Hosp Psychiatry. The cutoff score is 26 for the diagnosis of major (moderate to severe) depression. Andrew C. Leon, in Comprehensive Clinical Psychology, 1998. Fewer rating scales have been designed to assess mania. [9, 14] Each question receives a score ranging from 0 to 3, and the possible range of scores is from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating the presence of greater symptomatology.

The Geriatric Depression Rating Scale (GDRS; Jamison & Scogin, 1992) was developed specifically for older adults. The scale has, today, become such an indispensable tool that research and evaluations that do not make use of it are sometimes rejected, without any chance of appeal, from publications and good practice recommendations. However, a recent study found a score of 6 or more has a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 97%. The second column displays the frequency for the value of Xi. Figure 2. [13], The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale was published in 1977 as a screening tool for depression in the general population. U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. [Medline]. 1977. quality of life, anxiety, general psychopathological burden) have been described for all three major targets (Cg25, ALIC, NAcc). The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale is the most widely used interview scale, developed in 1960 to measure severity of depression in an inpatient population. BECK AT, WARD CH, MENDELSON M, MOCK J, ERBAUGH J. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale: reliability, validity and sensitivity to change in anxiety and depressive disorders. In addition, Rapp, Smith, and Britt (1990) found the 17-item version of the HRSD to have good psychometric properties with older medical patients and Leentjens, Verhey, Lousberg, Spitsbergen, and Wilmink (2000) and Olden, Rosenfeld, Pessin, and Breitbart (2009) established good concurrent validity with DSM-IV criteria. The CSDD takes approximately 20 minutes to administer. Schlaepfer, B.H. Each item either is scored on a 5-point scale, representing absent, mild, moderate, or severe symptoms, or on a 3-point scale, representing absent, slight or doubtful, and clearly present symptoms. Scores on the BDI can be used both as a diagnostic screen and as a measure of improvement over time. A graphic display of the contents of any of the last four columns can be informative. Radloff LS. [3], Use of patient-administered screening tools has increased as a quick and reliable option in the first step of depression assessment or as a treatment monitor. Ziegmond und Snaith hätten 1983 die interne Konsistenz einer längeren Form der HADS an 100 Patienten einer medizinischen Poliklinik geprüft und anschließend trennschwache Fragen entfernt. The HRSD has several versions, with the number of items employed ranging from 17 to 28. [17]. The small sample sizes of published studies do not allow predictors of response to be identified. It correlates moderately with the BDI (0.68) in community-dwelling older adults and more strongly with the GDS (0.84) in a mixed Danish geriatric sample (Korner et al., 2006). Williams JW. This was the case of a very large meta-analysis in 2010, for instance, which aimed to produce a summary of articles published on the efficacy of antidepressants (Fournier et al. /viewarticle/928581 2010) and which excluded any publication that did not use this scale. [10] Other versions have been developed, including the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), a revision of the BDI in 1996 in response to the fourth edition of the DSM, and the Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care (BDI-PC). The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and Hamilton Depression Scale are among the most commonly employed screening devices. Figure 2 displays the relative frequencies. Additional references Maier W, Buller R, Philipp M, Heuser I. T. Blackburn, J. Wasley, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II, 2007, Clinical studies with antidepressants invariably involve self-reporting of symptoms using standardized questionnaires including the Hamilton Depression Rating (HAM-D) scale for depression (17 or 21 items of a 23-item scale). Long-term antidepressant effect as well as amelioration of several other clinical scales (e.g. PHQ-9 scores of 5, 10, 15, and 20 are representative of mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression, respectively (see the image below). The new scale was tested in household interview surveys and in psychiatric settings. There is a shorter version of the HAM-D as well, but the validity and reliability of that version is not yet fully developed.

Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self-Report (QIDS-SR-16) Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS-SF) Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) The HAM-D was developed before publication of the DSM-III and does not evaluate more recent criteria for depression (e.g., anhedonia); it also favors somatic signs and symptoms and can miss atypical symptoms, such as overeating and oversleeping. Am Fam Physician. The Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) is designed for use in elderly patients with underlying cognitive deficits. Newer scales, such as the Bipolar Depression Rating Scale (BDRS), have been designed to capture episodes of bipolar depression, focusing more on mixed symptoms than the above noted studies designed for unipolar depression.10, Xavier Briffault, in Measuring Mental Disorders, 2018. In addition, Hammond (1998) found low internal reliability in geriatric medical inpatients and suggested that anxiety symptoms may confound results on the scale. The CES-D Scale. 2001. Amy Fiske, ... Margaret Gatz, in Comprehensive Clinical Psychology, 1998. (PDF). Screening for depression across the lifespan: a review of measures for use in primary care settings. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), also called the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), abbreviated HAM-D, is a multiple item questionnaire used to provide an indication of depression, and as a guide to evaluate recovery. The DSM V, the diagnostic manual for mental illnesses, requires a depression diagnosis to include 5 symptoms listed in the manual, and must include feelings of deep sadness, many professionals will use a quiz or scale like the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale to diagnosis a client with depression. Ratings are made using either a five- or a three-point scale, yielding total scores from zero to 61. [5, 12] The PHQ 9 establishes the clinical diagnosis of depression and can additionally be used over time to track the severity of symptoms over time. Ratings are made using either a five- or a three-point scale, yielding total scores from zero to 61. Gen Hosp Psychiatry. These graphs provide the reader with a sense of the distribution of the data at a glance. Each of the behaviorally anchored items is rated on either a 3- or 5-point scale and summed to obtain the total score. January 26, 2016; Accessed: January 27, 2016. Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications Ltd from Anderson, I. M.; Nutt, D. J.; Deakin, J. F. W. J. Psychopharmacol. The HDRS contains a relatively large number of somatic symptoms and relatively few cognitive or affective symptoms. Most potential patients are first seen in primary care settings where depth mental status evaluation is not routine. In addition to antidepressant effects, an anxiolytic effect has been obtained. Axial, sagittal, and coronal T1-and T2-weighted fast-spin echo images were obtained before MRgFUS and compared with the images acquired immediately, 1 week, and 1 and 6 months following MRgFUS to identify any changes. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. Cognitively-impaired, medically ill older adults have shown difficulty understanding, responding to, and completing the questions (Baker & Miller, 1991) and use of the HRSD for identifying depression in demented individuals has mixed results (Lichtenberg et al., 1992; Vida, Des Rosiers, Carrier, & Gauthier, 1994a). In addition, NAcc DBS specifically influenced the symptoms of anhedonia and anxiety (Bewernick et al., 2010). Even with the increased structure, reliability remained fair to poor for half of the items (Pachana, Gallagher-Thompson, & Thompson, 1994). Clinical Review, You are being redirected to For each item, patients choose from among four answers, each corresponding to a severity rating from 0 to 3. The CSDD is a 19-item scale, with scores of 0 for absent, 1 for mild or intermittent, and 2 for severe symptoms.
