A meta-analysis found sensitivity to be 80% and specificity of 92%. 2007 Nov. 22(11):1596-602. [Medline]. Alexopoulos GA, Abrams RC, Young RC, Shamoian CA. The study by Mayberg and colleagues did not find a relationship (Lozano et al., 2008). Another recently published study with eight patients stimulating Cg24/25 reported response rates of 87% after 6 months and 62.5% after 12 months (Puigdemont et al., 2011). The HRSD has several versions, with the number of items employed ranging from 17 to 28. Considered the “gold standard” for evaluating the severity of depression in clinical studies, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D)5 may be used to monitor the patient's progress during treatment, after the diagnosis of major depression has been established. 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). 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. Max Hamilton originally published the scale in 1960 and revised it in 1966, 1967, 1969, and 1980. 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. Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications Ltd from Anderson, I. M.; Nutt, D. J.; Deakin, J. F. W. J. Psychopharmacol. Medscape Education, 2002 Ratings are made using either a five- or a three-point scale, yielding total scores from zero to 61. Whichever rating scale is used, a wealth of clinical data exist to show that all current antidepressants seem to be effective in 20–70% of those treated, with placebo responses occurring in 30–50% of treated individuals.32 Thus, the major issue with the current clinical instruments and trial design is that the overall efficacy of antidepressants may be less than 50%. Arch Gen Psychiatry. There are a variety of tabular displays used to summarize data. Scores greater than 24 are indicative of severe depression, and scores less than 7 are indicative of the absence of depression. [4] An initial screen must be followed by a clinical interview to make the diagnosis of depression. The BDI consists of 21 items of emotional, behavioral, and somatic symptoms that takes 5–10 minutes to administer. Therapeutic Areas I: Central Nervous System, Pain, Metabolic Syndrome, Urology, Gastrointestinal and Cardiovascular. 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). The estimated prevalence of depressive disorders is 13–22% in primary care clinics but is only recognized in approximately 50% of cases. The CES-D Scale. 2001. BECK AT, WARD CH, MENDELSON M, MOCK J, ERBAUGH J. Gilley et al. Potential adverse effects and any changes in a patient’s neurological and physical states were evaluated at every visit by a neurosurgeon and a psychiatrist. The items of the scale are symptoms associated with depression which have been used in previously validated longer scales. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. Depression is a major public health issue, causing significant suffering and disability in the United States and worldwide. 1995. Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Nord J Psychiatry. From: Clinical Trial Design Challenges in Mood Disorders, 2015, Barry A. Edelstein, ... Stephanie A. Scheck, in Encyclopedia of Applied Psychology, 2004. The response rate was similar in all four studies (Lozano et al., 2008; Malone et al., 2009; Bewernick et al., 2010; Puigdemont et al., 2011). Items 4 and 5 are combined, with only the highest answer category is considered and a total number of items of nine. The different phenotypes of depression, ranging from mild to severe forms of the illness, add to the ‘noise’ of the trial. Clinical outcomes were assessed with the YBOCS, Antidepressant effect is assessed most often with the, Lozano et al., 2008; Malone et al., 2009; Bewernick et al., 2010; Puigdemont et al., 2011, Puigdemont et al., 2011; Bewernick et al., 2012. Joshua L. Roffman M.D., ... Theodore A. Stern M.D., in Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of General Hospital Psychiatry (Sixth Edition), 2010. The Patient Health Questionnaire-2: validity of a two-item depression screener. Methods: We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 44 adults with IBS and diarrhea or a mixed-stool pattern (based on Rome III criteria) and mild to moderate anxiety and/or depression (based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale) at McMaster University in Canada, from March 2011 to May 2014. ZUNG WW. Andrew C. Leon, in Comprehensive Clinical Psychology, 1998. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry, 23, 56–62. More research is needed on its use in older adults before it can be recommended. 2000, 14, 3–20. The Patient Health Questionnaire is a self-administered tool of 2 (PHQ2) or 9 (PHQ9) items. [Medline]. A total score of 10 indicate probable major depression and greater than 18 indicate definite major depression. 1965 Jan. 12:63-70. Max Hamilton a le premier publié en 1960 … [4, 6], Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). [17]. Neither scale has been as extensively evaluated for reliability and validity as have its counterparts geared toward depression. The new scale was tested in household interview surveys and in psychiatric settings. (2006) reported an inter-rater reliability of 0.90 in a geriatric sample. The severity of OCD symptoms was assessed with the YBOCS, which is a reliable and valid instrument widely used in clinical trials for OCD. Kelly N Stinson, MD Resident Physician, Department of Psychiatry, Wright State University, Boonshoft School of Medicine Whereas the 26-item MSRS gives extra weight to grandiosity and to paranoid–destructive symptoms, the Y-MRS examines primarily symptoms related to irritability, speech, thought content, and aggressive behavior. 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. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale is the most widely used interview scale, developed in 1960 to measure severity of depression in an inpatient population. [Medline]. Test yourself for Depression. 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. 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). There are a variety of tabular displays used to summarize data. 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. The 35-item Geriatric Depression Rating Scale (GDRS) combines the severity rating format of the HRSD with the content of the GDS. In the second column, the total of the frequencies is displayed, the value of which should be equal to the sample size (N). M. Hamilton, « A rating scale for depression », dans Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, no 23, 1960, p. 56-62. 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. With a cutoff of 17, the HRSD showed 9% sensitivity and 92% specificity in mild to severely demented hospitalized patients. A self-report depression scale for research in the general population. On a more positive note, Korner et al. Figure 1. Kelly N Stinson, MD is a member of the following medical societies: American Psychiatric AssociationDisclosure: Nothing to disclose.

The CES-D was revised to reflect current DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for depression, the CESD-R (see the image below). This HAM-D scale is the oldest scale for depression. The BDI is a questionnaire consisting of 21 sets of statements; each set is ranked in terms of severity and scored from 0 to 3. Nonetheless, clinical observation has shown that younger, female patients with previous response to ECT and phases in remission after first onset of depression seem more likely to benefit from DBS (Puigdemont et al., 2011; Bewernick et al., 2012). Young Goo Kim, Jin Woo Chang, in Neuromodulation (Second Edition), 2018. Initially a frequency distribution is constructed by counting the number of occurrences, or frequency, of each value of the variable (Xi). Prevalence, nature, and comorbidity of depressive disorders in primary care. Scores of 10-18 indicate mild depression, 19–29 indicate moderate depression, and greater than 30 indicate severe depression. L’échelle de dépression de Hamilton (en anglais, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression : HRSD, aussi appelée Hamilton Depression Rating Scale : HDRS et abrégé par HAM-D) est un questionnaire à choix multiples que les cliniciens américains peuvent utiliser pour mesurer la sévérité de la dépression majeure d'un patient [1]. (PDF). (1995) found low rates of symptom endorsement in Alzheimer's patients, suggesting that the use of collateral sources may be a more valid approach in this population. This website also contains material copyrighted by 3rd parties. 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. 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. In the fourth column the percentage of subjects with each value of Xi, or relative frequency, is displayed. The correlation between total scores and the severity of depression is provided in Table 8-2. [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 self-administered screening scale consists of 20 items, 16 negatively worded and 4 positively worded. The USPSTF published a level B recommendation for screening for depression in the general adult population (18 years and older), including older patients and pregnant and postpartum women. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)7 is a widely used 21-item patient self-rating scale that can be completed in a few minutes. 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. J Affect [Medline]. Twenty-nine RCTs were included in three separate meta-analyses. 1977. The MADRS provides a short but reliable scale, optimized for rapid clinical use. It can be purchased from Psychcorp.com.). Figure 2 displays the relative frequencies. Two column totals (sums, which are symbolized ∑) are presented. 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. 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. quality of life, anxiety, general psychopathological burden) have been described for all three major targets (Cg25, ALIC, NAcc).

The Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRAS) is a five-item scale that is used to identify anxiolytic-like activity, and is gaining prominence in the US and Europe. Ratings are made using either a five- or a three-point scale, yielding total scores from zero to 61. Kørner A, Lauritzen L, Abelskov K, Gulmann N, Marie Brodersen A, Wedervang-Jensen T, et al. It is, in particular, the gold standard for measuring the severity of depression in clinical studies against a placebo. 2003 May. The CES-D is often used in studies examining the well-being of participants in large-scale population surveys. Screening should be implemented with adequate systems in place to ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and appropriate follow-up. The use of depression screening instruments can be a simple, efficient method to provide such screening in a sensitive and specific manner. We can, thus, consider that for a treatment for depression to be considered “effective” today, it must have the ability to bring about a change in the Hamilton score in a clinical trial – a change of at least 3 points, which the scientific community considers to be the threshold level for change and clinically significant for the patient (Kirsch et al. 4:561-71. Am Fam Physician. 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. 2010) and which excluded any publication that did not use this scale. Plot of relative frequencies of HRSD: CBT group. 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. J Am Geriatr Soc. 8. U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Hamilton's economic policies may have undermined the future of the Federalist Party, but they established a fiscally strong federal government, just as Hamilton had planned. In the original clinician-administered scale, the first 17 items are tallied for the total score, while items 18–21 are used to further qualify the depression. Only recently has the hypothesis about exact electrode position been assessed. (If there were no variability, only one bar would be displayed.) Figure 3. 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. Even with the increased structure, reliability remained fair to poor for half of the items (Pachana, Gallagher-Thompson, & Thompson, 1994). 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.
