Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS)

Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS)

Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS)

A screening tool for helping to identify bipolar spectrum disorder.

Part 1: The Story

Please read the following story. Check the box next to each sentence that you feel has been true for you for a significant period of your life. Leave blank any sentence that does not apply to you.

Part 2: Overall Fit

How well does the story above, taken as a whole, describe you?

Instructions for Use

Objective

The Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS) is a self-report questionnaire that helps in the screening for bipolar disorder by identifying individuals who may benefit from a more thorough clinical evaluation.

How to Complete the Scale

The scale consists of two parts:

  1. Part 1: The Story. Read a paragraph that describes a person whose moods and energy levels shift. As you read, check the box for each sentence that describes your own experience for a significant period of your life (e.g., several days or longer). It is okay to check many sentences or only a few.
  2. Part 2: Overall Fit. After reading the entire story and checking the relevant sentences, answer the single question that follows: "How well does the story above, taken as a whole, describe you?". You must choose one of the five options provided.

Score Analysis

Score Calculation

The final BSDS score is calculated in two steps:

  1. Story Score: The number of sentences you checked in Part 1.
  2. Final Score: The "Story Score" is then multiplied by a number based on your answer in Part 2.
    • "Very well" multiplies your Story Score by 5.
    • "Fairly well" multiplies by 4.
    • "Somewhat" multiplies by 3.
    • "A little" multiplies by 2.
    • "Not at all" multiplies by 1.

The total score can range from 0 to 95 (19 sentences x 5).

Result Interpretation

The total score suggests the probability of having a bipolar spectrum disorder:

  • 1-6: Bipolar disorder highly unlikely
  • 7-12: Moderate probability
  • 13-19: High probability
  • 20+: Very high probability

Disclaimer: The BSDS is a screening instrument and not a diagnostic tool. A high score does not mean you have bipolar disorder, but it does suggest that a follow-up evaluation with a mental health professional is recommended.

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A)

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A)

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A)

A clinician-rated scale for assessing the severity of anxiety.

Instructions for Use

Objective

The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) is one of the first rating scales developed to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms. It is designed to be administered by a clinician and is used in both clinical and research settings.

Guidelines for Administration

A clinician should evaluate the patient based on a clinical interview. Each of the 14 items is rated on a 5-point scale, based on the patient's experiences over the past week.

  • The clinician combines information from the patient interview with their own observations to rate each item.
  • Each item is rated from 0 to 4. The rating scale is as follows:
    • 0 = Not present
    • 1 = Mild
    • 2 = Moderate
    • 3 = Severe
    • 4 = Very severe
  • All 14 items must be rated to calculate a total score.

Score Analysis

Score Calculation

The total score is the sum of the ratings from all 14 items. The possible score range is from 0 to 56.

Result Interpretation

The total score corresponds to a level of anxiety severity:

  • < 17: Mild anxiety severity
  • 18-24: Mild to moderate anxiety severity
  • 25-30: Moderate to severe anxiety severity
  • > 30: Severe anxiety severity

Disclaimer: This scale is a clinical instrument intended for use by trained healthcare professionals. It is not a self-diagnostic tool. The results should be interpreted within the context of a full clinical assessment by a qualified provider.

DASS 21 scale (depression, anxiety and stress)

Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21)

A self-report scale to measure negative emotional states.

Please read each statement and choose a number which indicates how much the statement applied to you over the past week. There are no right or wrong answers. Do not spend too much time on any statement.

Instructions for Use

Objective

The DASS-21 is a 21-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure the severity of three related negative emotional states: depression, anxiety, and stress.

How to Administer

Read each of the 21 statements. For each one, choose the option that best describes how much the statement applied to you over the past week. It is important to consider the entire last seven days, including today.

  • The rating scale is as follows:
    • 0 = Did not apply to me at all
    • 1 = Applied to me to some degree, or some of the time
    • 2 = Applied to me to a considerable degree, or a good part of the time
    • 3 = Applied to me very much, or most of the time
  • Answer every question, even if it does not seem to relate to you.

Score Analysis

Score Calculation

The scores for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress are calculated by summing the scores for the relevant items. As the DASS-21 is a short version of the main scale (DASS-42), the final score for each subscale must be multiplied by 2.

Result Interpretation

The severity of the symptoms is determined by comparing your final scores to the ranges below.

Severity Depression Anxiety Stress
Normal0-90-70-14
Mild10-138-915-18
Moderate14-2010-1419-25
Severe21-2715-1926-33
Extremely Severe28+20+34+

The results are a snapshot of your feelings over the past week and can be a useful starting point for a discussion about your well-being.

Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD)

Alzheimer's Disease Quality of Life Scale

Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD)

A scale for assessing quality of life in patients with dementia.

Instructions for Use

Objective

The QOL-AD is a 13-item scale designed to measure the quality of life of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. It can be completed by the patient, a caregiver, or both together.

When to Use

This scale is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate dementia who can still reliably report their own feelings. For patients with more severe cognitive impairment, caregiver-reported responses are more appropriate.

How to Administer

Read each question aloud to the patient exactly as it is written. Ask them to think about their life over the past week and choose the response that best fits their feelings.

  • The questions cover various aspects of life including physical health, energy, mood, living situation, memory, social life, and overall life quality.
  • Each item is rated on a 4-point scale:
    • Poor (1 point)

    • Good (3 points)
    • Excellent (4 points)
  • Ensure that an answer is selected for every question before calculating the score.

Score Analysis

The total score is the sum of the points from all 13 questions. The possible score range is from 13 (lowest quality of life) to 52 (highest quality of life).

Result Interpretation

  • Higher Scores (e.g., 40-52): Indicate a better quality of life. The individual generally feels positive about their health, relationships, environment, and life as a whole.
  • Mid-range Scores (e.g., 27-39): Suggest a fair or moderate quality of life. There may be a mix of positive and negative feelings across different life domains.
  • Lower Scores (e.g., 13-26): Indicate a poorer quality of life. The individual may be experiencing significant distress related to their health, mood, social interactions, or other areas.

Disclaimer: This scale is a tool for assessment and is not a substitute for a professional clinical diagnosis. The results should be used to facilitate discussion and care planning with healthcare professionals.
