Relationship between the Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale and Sheehan Disability Scale in patients with bipolar depressive episodes
Depressive symptoms and daily functioning are correlated; however, this relationship is not straightforward, highlighting the need for evaluating symptoms and functioning separately. Importantly, direct application of the statistical MADRS threshold in clinical practice may be inappropriate for estimating SDS-based functioning. Further research is needed to establish norms linking levels of symptoms and functioning in bipolar depression.
