Fig. 1. Sample page from the Depression Interview and Structured Hamilton (DISH) form. The page has been compressed to reduce the size of the figure. On the actual DISH form, there is more room to write notes, and there are spaces between the items to improve the readability of the form. The Hamilton dysphoric mood item is rated in the HRSD column in item 5, and the DSM-IV dysphoric mood symptom is coded in the DSM-IV column in item 6. The duration (in weeks) of the symptom is entered in the four columns to the right of the DSM-IV code. The "Code" column is not used on this page of the interview, but it is included on every page in the Current Symptoms section to maintain a visually consistent format from one page to the next.
