Popis: Assessment of clinical course to aid in the diagnosis of patients and to guide treatment planning has gained momentum in recent years. A course-graphing scale for the DSM-5 Mood Disorders is presented to facilitate clinical history-taking and diagnosis of the mood disorders during the screening interview. The scale can be administered in the more traditional historytaking portion of the screening interview. The only difference is that it is a more systematic approach especially when the clinician suspects the presence of a mood disorder. The Timeline Course Graphing Scale for the DSM-5 Mood Disorders (TCGS) is described and accompanied with guidelines for administration.
