“…Much later, Reynolds and Kobak developed and tested a paper-and-pencil self-report version called the Hamilton Depression Inventory (HDI) (Reynolds and Kobak 1995). Reliability data on a self-report version of the HAM-D expanded to include "atypical" symptoms (SIGH-SAD; see below) were published in 1991 (Terman et al 1991).…”

The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) has become the most widely used depression severity rating scale in the world. It was originally published by Max Hamilton in 1960 to measure severity of depression in previously diagnosed depressed inpatients. Since that time, multiple versions of the scale have been created, although authors are rarely clear about which version they used. In addition, structured interview guides, self-report forms, and computerized versions have been developed in an effort to standardize administration of the scale and improve the psychometric characteristics of the individual items. The history of the development of these features is discussed, and the various versions of the scale are summarized in tables. This article is a fitting tribute to Per Bech, who has contributed so much to the assessment of depression severity. 2] Keywords Depression severity. Hamilton Depression Scale. depression interviewIn honor of Per Bech, this report reviews the history of attempts to standardize the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale with different versions and interview guides.

“…A measure of depressive symptoms, derived from the short form of the Hamilton Depression Inventory (Reynolds and Kobak, 1995), was based on the presence and severity of nine depressive symptoms, with the time frame for items being either the prior 2 weeks or current symptoms. The measure had a range from 0 to 30.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Changes in romantic relationship status are common in emerging adulthood and may be linked to changes in substance use. This study tested the hypothesis that entry into relationships or transitioning to a more committed status leads to decreases in substance use and that dissolution of relationships or transitioning to a less committed status results in increases in substance use. Method: Data were from a community sample of 939 individuals. Substance use (heavy drinking, marijuana use, and cigarette smoking) and relationship status (single, in a romantic relationship but not cohabiting, cohabiting, or married) were assessed at the beginning and end of three 6-month intervals between the ages of 18 and 20 years. Models were estimated to assess the association between transitions in relationship status and substance use, adjusting for prior levels of use. Results: There were increases in heavy drinking, marijuana use, and cigarette smoking associated with dissolution of a romantic relationship, as well as increases in marijuana use and cigarette smoking associated with switching partners within a 6-month interval. Mediation analyses found some support for increases in both depressive symptoms and exposure to substance-using peers partially accounting for these associations. Decreases in substance use were not found for individuals entering into a new relationship or transitioning to a more committed relationship status. In fact, cigarette smoking increased among those who went from being single to being in a romantic relationship compared with those whose relationship status did not change. Conclusions: Emerging adults who experience dissolution of romantic relationships or quickly move from one relationship to another experience increased substance use. Both depressive symptoms and changes in peer environments may partially account for these changes in use. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 71, 847-856, 2010)

“…The HAM-D is a well validated, clinician-rated instrument to ascertain the presence and severity of depressive symptoms resulting from any psychiatric (or non-psychiatric) cause (Hamilton, 1960;Haroutune, Pratt, Gallo, & Eaton, 1998). It has demonstrated discriminate validity between individuals diagnosed with depression and non-depressed controls (Reynolds & Kobak, 1995), and reliability (showing comparable severity) across racial/ethnic groups (Akpaffiong, Kunik, Hale, Molinari, & Orengo, 1999), albeit with variations in symptoms (Wohi, Lesser, & Smith, 1997). The HAM-D is interviewer-rated and takes ~15 minutes to complete.…”
