Autism Assessment

The Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale–Revised (RAADS-R) is an 80-item assessment for adults.This questionnaire cannot diagnose autism and used in a comprehensive mental assessment that considers your lifelong development and experiences.

Choose the response that best describes whether each experience is true now, was true when you were younger, or has never been true.

Bipolar Disorder Assessment

This two-part assessment for mood evaluates symptoms associated with bipolar disorder using the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) and the Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32). Part 1 asks about periods of unusually elevated or irritable mood, while Part 2 asks which changes occurred during a “high or hyper” period.

Part 1: Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ)

Answer the MDQ questions based on whether there has ever been a period when you were not your usual self.

Part 2: HCL-32 — Question 3

Please try to remember a period when you were in a “high or hyper” state. How did you feel then?

Select Yes or No for each statement that happened during a high or hyper state.

Depression Assessment

The Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) contains 10 items scored from 0 to 6. The assessment should be based on a clinical interview. Defined anchor steps are 0, 2, 4, and 6; scores 1, 3, and 5 are used when severity falls between the defined steps.

OCD Assessment

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) asks about the amount of time, interference, distress, resistance, and control related to obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Please answer based on your symptoms during the past week.

Y-BOCS Symptom Checklist

Select each category that applies. When a category is selected, its symptoms will appear.

Y-BOCS Severity Questions

Questions 1 through 5 concern obsessive thoughts. Questions 6 through 10 concern compulsive behaviors.

Obsessions are unwanted ideas, images or impulses that intrude on thinking against your wishes and efforts to resist them. They usually involve themes of harm, risk and danger. Common obsessions are excessive fears of contamination; recurring doubts about danger, extreme concern with order, symmetry, or exactness; fear of losing important things.

The next several questions are about your compulsive behaviors.

Compulsions are urges that people have to do something to lessen feelings of anxiety or other discomfort. Often they do repetitive, purposeful, intentional behaviors called rituals. The behavior itself may seem appropriate but it becomes a ritual when done to excess. Washing, checking, repeating, straightening, hoarding and many other behaviors can be rituals. Some rituals are mental. For example, thinking or saying things over and over under your breath.

PTSD Assessment

The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is a 20-item assessment that measures how much post-traumatic stress symptoms have bothered you during the past month; it is not a diagnosis.

Please think about a stressful experience that currently bothers you the most, such as a life-threatening accident, physical or sexual abuse, or witnessing another person being killed or assaulted. For each item, choose how much you have been bothered by that problem during the past month.

Suicide Risk Assessment

The SAFE-T Protocol with C-SSRS asks about recent suicidal thoughts, suicidal behavior, risk factors, and protective factors to help guide a clinical suicide risk evaluation.

Emergency notice: If you may act on suicidal thoughts, have an immediate plan or intent, have recently attempted suicide, or cannot stay safe, call 911 or 988 now or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not remain alone.

Step 1: Identify Risk Factors

Answer the following questions based on the past month unless the question asks about lifetime behavior.

C-SSRS Suicidal Behavior

This includes doing, starting to do, or preparing to do anything to end your life, such as collecting pills, obtaining a firearm, writing a suicide note, taking out pills without swallowing them, going to a roof without jumping, or making an actual suicide attempt.
