Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression: Another clinician-rated scale. It measures the severity of depression. There is an unstructured interview technique. The scale focuses on physical symptoms more than cognitive symptoms.

Before initiating hypnotherapy, it is important for the therapist to take a detailed clinical history and identify the essential psychological, physiological and social aspects of the patient’s behaviors. This should include functional and dysfunctional patterns of thinking, feeling, bodily responses and behaviors. To make a reliable diagnosis, the therapist is advised to use standard diagnostic criteria such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.) (American Psychiatric Association, 2000), or the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) (World Health Organization, 1992). Specific psychometric measures such as the Beck Depression Inventory – Revised (Beck et al., 1996), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck and Steer, 1993a), the Beck Hopelessness Scale (Beck and Steer, 1993b), and the Revised Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (RHRSD, Warren, 1994) can also be administered to determine the severity of the symptoms before, during and after treatment.
Medical complications of eating disorders

Depression has been associated with osteoporosis in adults, and there is significant comorbidity between ED and mood symptoms. Recent studies have examined how these two psychiatric conditions may interact to affect bone mineral density. Konstantynowicz and colleagues (2005) administered standardized rating scales for depression to 45 women with AN. Fourteen of these subjects had moderate to severe levels of depression, and depression scores were negatively associated with BMD of the lumbar spine, after correction for BMI. Neuroendocrine disturbances, such as elevated cortisol levels, seen in depressive disorders may theoretically contribute to the low BMD. These findings thus raise a question as to whether or not treatment of mood symptoms would also help improve BMD.
Conducting Systematic Reviews of the Quality and Psychometric Properties of Health-Related Measurement Instruments: Finding the Right Tool for the Job

For example, if we wanted to find the "best fit" tool to measure depression there are many valid instruments to choose from such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), or the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and many others. If our subjects were recruited from a hospital setting, the HADS, HAM-D or MADRS would likely be good candidates. However, if the focus of our study was on self-assessment of depression symptoms among nurses within the workplace, the BDI may be the best instrument as the HADS would be more appropriate for self-assessment of depression and anxiety cases as this instrument’s questions are based on DSM diagnostic criteria. If the study required more in-depth clinician evaluation, the HAM-D may be the instrument of choice. In short, it is important to find the instrument with the best psychometric properties for the population and design of your study that fits the research question. In addition, some scales are specifically developed for different age groups such as the Geriatric Depression Scale for elderly populations, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale for screening women during the postnatal period, and others for assessing depression in children and adolescents (see for example, American Psychological Association, 2021).

Ninety-seven BD inpatients were enrolled for the present study. All were recruited by reviewing the hospital charts of those admitted for the first time at the ‘Casa di Cura Morana’, Sicily (Italy), that is the largest public and, at a smaller extent private, neuropsychiatric hospital of northern Sicily within a larger collaboration established with the ‘Dipartimento di Medicina Clinica e Sperimentale’, Section of Psychiatry, University of Pisa. Diagnoses were carried out according to DSM-IV criteria, by means of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (Sheehan et al. 1998). The severity of symptoms, as recorded in the medical charts, were assessed by a battery of rating scales, specifically the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) (Hamilton 1960), the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) (Young RC et al. 1978), and the Clinical Global Impression-severity (CGI-s) (Guy 1976).
Drug treatment strategies for depression in Parkinson disease

There are several depression inventories available and many have been tested in PD with good validity, reliability, and sensitivity (Table 2) [63–67]. Screening tools such as the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were developed to assess depression severity in the general population, however, they have been validated for use in persons with PD [62,64]. While familiarity with the more common scales is useful when reviewing the literature in this area, it is also important to select scales that could be easily used for screening in clinical practice. Factors such as clinician time and training and patient literacy impact choosing if the scale should be clinician – or patient-administered. Clinic workflow and integration into the interview time may influence the choice of scale length. Finally, clinician preference and whether the clinician will personally provide treatment or refer to a mental health professional may impact the choice of scale.
