The 17-item HAM-D is used to rate the severity of depression in participants who are already diagnosed as depressed. Items scored in a range of 0 to 2 include: insomnia (early, middle, late), somatic symptoms (gastrointestinal and general), genital symptoms, loss of weight, and insight. The following items are scored in a range of 0 to 4: agitation, depressed mood, feelings of guilt, suicide, work and activities, retardation, anxiety (psychic and somatic), and hypochondriasis. The HAM-D total score was calculated as the sum of the 17 individual item scores and could range from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicated more severe depression. A negative change from Baseline indicates less depression.
