Abstract

A computer-administered form of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale was designed to provide scores with a high degree of correspondence with the clinician-administered 17-item version of the scale. Both forms of the Hamilton scale were administered in a counterbalanced design to 97 subjects, including 52 outpatients with a Research Diagnostic Criteria diagnosis of Major Depression, 20 outpatients with Minor Depression, and 25 nonpsychiatric control subjects
