The Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale uses ten clinician-rated items. Each item is scored from 0 to 6.
Total Score = Sum of all 10 item scores
Possible Range = 0 to 60
Common interpretation ranges used in many clinical settings are:
This calculator also highlights the highest scoring domain and flags elevated suicidal-thought ratings for extra attention during review.
| Visit | Date | Total Score | Severity Band | Change From Baseline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial | 2026-03-01 | 31 | Moderate | Baseline |
| Week 2 | 2026-03-15 | 24 | Moderate | -7 |
| Week 4 | 2026-03-29 | 17 | Mild | -14 |
This example shows how repeated scoring can support follow-up review and symptom trend tracking.
It totals the ten MADRS clinician-rated items to estimate depressive symptom severity. It helps structure review, compare follow-up scores, and document item-level burden clearly.
It is mainly designed for trained clinicians, researchers, and supervised mental health settings. Consistent interviewing improves score quality and follow-up comparison.
No. The result supports symptom measurement, not diagnosis by itself. Diagnosis requires full clinical evaluation, context, differential review, and professional judgment.
A total of 35 or above is commonly interpreted as severe depression range. Local protocols, treatment context, and clinician judgment still matter.
A higher score on the suicidal-thoughts item may need immediate clinical attention. The flag is a prompt for careful review, not a full risk assessment.
Yes. Repeating the same scale at follow-up visits can show symptom change, treatment response, and domains that remain more affected.
They export the entered details, total score, severity interpretation, risk flag, and item scores. That can help with records, case review, or reporting.
Use urgent local emergency or crisis support right away and involve qualified professionals immediately. Do not rely on a scale result alone.
