Hamilton Scale for Depression

Hamilton Scale for Depression HAMD or HDRS was developed by Max Hamilton in 1960 ● Clinician-rated, unlike Beck scales which are self-rated ● It starts with an item on depression and ends with one on obsessive-compulsive symptoms. ● The most widely used clinician-administered depression assessment scale. ● The original version contains 17 items (HDRS17) pertaining to symptoms of depression experienced over the past week. The HDRS was originally developed for hospital inpatients, thus the emphasis on melancholic and physical symptoms of depression. A later 21-item version (HDRS21) included 4 items intended to subtype the depression, but which are sometimes, incorrectly, used to rate severity. ● Only the first 17 should be used to measure the severity ● A limitation of the HDRS is that atypical symptoms of depression (e.g., hypersomnia, hyperphagia) are not assessed. Scoring  ● The method for scoring varies by version. For the HDRS17, a score of 0–7 is generally accepted to be wi

Supportive measures in the treatment of Catatonia

A broad range of complications of catatonia can occur, such as aspiration pneumonia, dehydration, muscle contractures, pressure ulcers, nutritional deficiencies, severe weight loss, thiamine deficiency, electrolyte disturbances, urinary tract infections, and venous thromboembolism, some of which can lead to life-threatening situations. Some patients will require a high level of nursing care, and IV fluids and/or nasogastric tube feeds, in order to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality caused by immobility, poor nutrition, and dehydration. Anticoagulant therapies can prevent deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism in immobile patients. We should treat medical complications lege artist. Given the often dramatic and prompt improvement of motor immobility after treatment, the major measure in preventing complications is a prompt diagnosis and a rapid initiation of an adequate treatment of the catatonic state.

Steps of Clinical Assessment of Depression

Steps of Clinical Assessment   Step 1: Listen to the patient carefully, establish rapport, and develop a therapeutic alliance. Step 2: Confirm the diagnosis by identifying the full spectrum of signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety, and confirm a lack of a history of mania . Also exclude organicity especially hyper/hypothyroidism, Cushing disease, brain tumors, and any other physical conditions that can induce or mimic the symptoms of depression. A detailed medical history, physical examination, and relevant laboratory investigations (TFTs,   Cortisol, DST, brain imaging, ECG, etc.) Should be obtained for this purpose. Exclude (depression/anxiety as) the impact of medications (e.g. propranolol), substances of abuse, and alcohol.   Step 3: Assess the severity clinically and to monitor, with a standard scale, (HAMD/HAM-A, BDI/BAI, etc). Severity also influences the choice of treatment. Step 4: Assess the impact of the condition on the patient and family, including personal distre
