Primary | The 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD17) | The HRSD is an observer-rated measure of depressive symptomatology. Minimum: 0; Maximum: 50; Better outcome: lower score; Normal score: 7 or less. |
12 weeks | |
Secondary | Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (IDS-SR) | IDS-SR is a self reported 30 item assessment to diagnose a major depressive episode. Score: Minimum: 0 Maximum: 84 Lower score associated with better outcome |
12 weeks | |
Secondary | Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) | This is an 11-item, observer rated measure of the severity of manic symptoms on a 5 point scale. The total score indicates overall severity of mania with a minimum of zero (indicating normalcy) and a maximum of 60 (indicating very severe). Score: Minimum: 0 Maximum: 60 Lower score associated with better outcome |

Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where less than 17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe. |
