MADRS

The MADRS is a widely used tool used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms. It consists of 10 items evaluating areas such as mood, sleep, appetite, concentration, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored on a scale from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater severity. The total score is calculated by summing the scores of all items, resulting in a range from 0 to 60.
