SCID-5-CV – Structured Clinical Interview for Mental Disorders – DSM-5® – Clinician Version – Updated

A new version 5.0 of SCID-5-KV - Structured Clinical Interview for Mental Disorders - DSM-5® - clinical version is now available in EG CheckWare's assessment library.


Changes in the new version:

The assessment:
The wording in section A26 has been corrected to enable mapping whether there have been multiple depressive episodes in the patient’s life, while excluding that these episodes are due to a somatic illness (GST) or substance use.

The corrected part shown at the bottom of the page is:
"IF UNKNOWN: Have you had any other period when you were (depressed/YOUR OWN WORDS) in this way without (being ill with GST/using SUBSTANCE)?" instead of:

"IF UNKNOWN: Have you had any other period when you were (depressed/YOUR OWN WORDS) in this way (ill with a GST/used SUBSTANCE)?".
