摘要: The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale was evaluated in 44 depressed inpatients. All items of the scale occurred frequently sample; exhibited construct validity (internal homogeneity) and concurrent relative to Hamilton concepts endogenous nonendogenous depression. Sleep disturbance, reduced appetite, suicidal thoughts, correlated poorly with remainder scale. Reasons for this finding are discussed. Inter-rater reliability demonstrated between a psychiatrist nurse on individual item total scores.
