developed to assess the level of depression in schizophrenia. It has been
extensively evaluated in both relapsed and remitted patients and appears
sensitive to change. |

is important to note that the Scale is designed for use by an experienced
rater. It is not intended for self assessment, and any person concerned
about schizophrenia should see a medical professional. The University
of Calgary, Alberta Health Services and Drs. D. and J. Addington
accept no responsibility for the Scale if it is not administered under appropriate
conditions by a professional. |
