The Major Depression
Inventory (MDI)
The Major Depression Inventory (MDI) is
a self-report mood questionnaire
developed by the World Health
Organization’s Collaborating Center in
Mental Health. The test is made up of 12
questions that assess how individuals
feel or perceive their lives over the past
two weeks (Bech et al., 2015). The
questions are scored out of 50 with high
scores predicting high level of
depression.

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Scale-7 (GAD-7) is a 7-item, self-rated
scale developed as a screening tool and
severity indicator for GAD. It is easily
scored and initially was created to
increase recognition of GAD in primary

validity. A score of 10 or greater on the
GAD-7 represents a reasonable cut
point for identifying cases of GAD. Cut
points of 5, 10, and 15 might be
interpreted as representing mild,
moderate, and severe levels of anxiety.
Panic Disorder
Recurrent unexpected panic attacks;
Persistent concern or worry about
additional panic attacks or their
consequences; A significant maladaptive
change in behavior related to the attacks;
the disturbance is not attributable to the
physiological effects of a substance (APA,

The Panic Disorder Severity
Scale (PDSS)
The PDSS contains items that assess
the severity of seven dimensions of
panic disorder and associated
symptoms: the frequency of panic
attacks, distress during panic attacks,
anticipatory anxiety, agoraphobic fear
and avoidance, interceptive fear and
avoidance, impairment of or interference
in work functioning; and impairment of or
interference in social functioning (Bui et
al., 2015).
Bipolar I Disorder
For a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder, it is
necessary to meet the criteria for a manic
episode, hypomanic episode, and major
depressive episode as follows:
Manic Episode - A distinct period of
abnormally and persistently elevated,
expansive, or irritable mood and
abnormally and persistently increased
goal-directed activity or energy.
Hypomanic Episode - A distinct period of
abnormally and persistently elevated,
expansive, or irritable mood and
abnormally and persistently increased
activity or energy, lasting at least 4
consecutive (APA, 2013).
Major Depressive Episode - At least one
of the symptoms is either depressed
mood or loss of interest or pleasure.
The Mood Disorder
Questionnaire (MDQ)
The Mood Disorder Questionnaire
(MDQ) is an excellent screening tool for
bipolar disorder. It is considered a gold
standard screening tool in the world of
bipolar disorder (Williams, 2017). Even
though treatment guidelines around the
world recommend the use of
measurement-based care. The
questionnaire takes about 5 minutes to
complete with a positive screen followed
by an extensive evaluation.
