Introduction
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) - Free online test. Developed by Hamilton in 1960, HAMD is the most widely used clinical scale for assessing depressive states.
Note: This is a clinician-rated scale requiring professional administration. As many items require professional evaluation, if taking this self-assessment, imagine yourself in clinical scenarios when responding. Primarily suitable for adults.
