Introducing a Clinical Course-Graphing Scale for DSM-5 Mood Disorders
2016
Assessment of clinical course to aid in the diagnosis of patients and to guide treatment planning has gained momentum in recent years. A course-graphing scale for the DSM-5 Mood Disorders is presented to facilitate clinical history-taking and diagnosis of the mood disorders during the screening interview. The scale can be administered in the more traditional history-taking portion of the screening interview. The only difference is that it is a more systematic approach especially when the clinician suspects the presence of a mood disorder. The Timeline Course Graphing Scale for the DSM-5 Mood Disorders (TCGS) is described and accompanied with guidelines for administration.
