Click ‘Get Form’ to open it in the editor.
Begin by entering the patient's name, age, sex, and date at the top of the form. This information is essential for identifying the individual being assessed.
Next, assess mood-related signs. For each item listed (e.g., anxiety, sadness), circle the score that best reflects the patient's condition over the past month. Use the scoring system provided: -2 for severe symptoms, -1 for mild, 0/a if unable to evaluate, and +1 or +2 for positive indicators.
Continue to behavioral disturbances and physical signs sections. Again, circle scores based on observed behaviors and physical conditions. Ensure you only score changes that occurred acutely within a month.
Finally, review cyclic functions such as sleep patterns. Circle appropriate scores based on how these factors have affected the patient’s quality of life.
Once all sections are completed, calculate the total score at the bottom of the form to summarize your findings.
