(CDRS™-R) Children's Depression Rating Scale™, Revised

Modeled after the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, the Children’s Depression Rating Scale has long been used to diagnose depression and determine its severity. This version, updated and standardized, with complete interpretive and psychometric data, is more useful than ever. In clinical settings, it can be used to diagnose depression and monitor treatment response. In nonclinical contexts, such as schools and pediatric clinics, it can be used as a quick and economical screener, identifying children who need professional intervention.
