The Schedule for affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (SADS) is a collection of psychiatric diagnostic criteria and symptom rating scales published in 1978.[1] There are three versions the schedule, the regular SADS, the lifetime version (SADS-L) and a version for measuring change in symptomology (SADS-C). Although largely replaced by diagnostic criteria such as DSM-IV, and specific mood rating scales, SADS is still used in some research papers today.
Diagnoses covered[]
The diagnoses covered by the interview include Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety disorders and a limited number of other diagnoses.[1]
Relationship with the Research Diagnostic Criteria[]
The Schedule for affective Disorders and Schizophrenia was developed by the same group of rearchers as the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC). While the RDC is a list of diagnostic criteria for psychiatric disorders, the SADS interview allows diagnoses based on RDC criteria to be made, and also rates subject's symptoms and level of functioning.[1]
