[edit] Copyright of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

Does anyone know if this scale is copyright? It seems to be freely available on the internet and I haven't seen any companies selling it. If it's not under copyright we could include it on this page.87.1.231.103 14:26, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I think we need to add the actual scale to give this article some substance. What does a score of 5 actually mean. We also need to stress that this scale is only o use when a Medical Health professional use their trained judgement to assess the score and that self use by the ordinary punter is not recommended, other than for interest.--Ningbojoe 03:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
