Abstract

The rating scale "G.T. MSRS" has been designed to improve the clinical effectiveness of the clinician psychiatrists, by enabling
them to make an early "general" diagnosis of mixed states.
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 going to the dysphoric state.
This study is the second validation study of the "G.T. MSRS" rating scale, in order to demonstrate its usefullness.
