| description | ABSTRACT Objective The present study aims to compare the diagnostic ability of the HAMD 17 items with shorter versions of 7 and 6 items. Methods A total of 133 patients from a 6 month clinical trial diagnosed with mood disorders (60.2% with Major Depressive Disorder and 39.8% with bipolar type I disorder) were recruited. Results The 17 items HAMD scale showed similar results as compared with shorter versions. Furthermore, almost all patients’ diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder scored more compared to Bipolar Disorder, but the difference was not significant. Conclusion This study allows that the use of a shorter version of HAMD might be an adequate possibility, and also that depressive symptoms were similar among groups. |
