THE GOLDBERG MOOD SCALES

Note: These scales are designed to measure changes in the severity of
depression and mania that result from psychotherapeutic or psychopharma-
cologic treatment. Changes in either scale of five or more points are
significant These scales are NOT designed to make a diagnosis of either
depression or mania. If you score high on either or both of these scales
and suspect that you are depressed, and/or manic, arrange for an immediate
psychiatric evaluation. See the Bipolar Forum here at DF for the Goldberg Mania Scale.
