Abstract
The knowledge of the clinical features of the mixed states and of the symptoms of the “mixity” of mood disorders is crucial: to
mis-diagnose or mis-treat patients with these symptoms may increase the suicide risk and make worse the evolution of mood
disorders. The rating scale “G.T. MSRS” has been designed to improve the clinical effectiveness of both psychiatrists and GPs by
enabling them to make an early “general” diagnosis of mixed states. This study presents some cases in which the “G.T. MSRS” scale
has been used, in order to demonstrate its usefullness.
