Introduction

Carroll Rating Scale for Depression (CRS) - Free online test. The CRS is primarily used for comparison with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). Since HAMD is a clinician-rated scale requiring professional administration, CRS helps determine the consistency or discrepancy between self-assessment and professional assessment results. The 52 items in CRS correspond to symptoms in HAMD, with some HAMD symptoms scored 0-4 and others 0-2; accordingly, CRS has 4 or 2 graded descriptions for corresponding symptoms. Given this direct correspondence between CRS's 52 items and HAMD symptoms, the Carroll Rating Scale can be considered a self-rated version of the Hamilton Depression Scale.

Scoring Interpretation

Note: Higher scores may indicate more severe conditions.
