A comparison of depression rating scales. 1982

N P Kearns, and C A Cruickshank, and K J McGuigan, and S A Riley, and S P Shaw, and R P Snaith

In a comparison of assessment methods of severity of depressive illness, the Montgomery-Asberg Scale had, broadly, a performance equal to the Hamilton Scale. The Beck Depression Inventory, it subscale, and the Wakefield Inventory all had overall poor performances and should now be abandoned in research. The two-patient-rated scales were, overall, similar and fairly satisfactory measures. The comparisons were at points in severity of illness and not on change of severity.
