How this service works
Hamilton 1960 17-variable depression rating (not the later 21-item form). Eight caller-assigned 0-4 items and nine 0-2 items (agitation is three-point in that paper). Sum 0-50. magent does not interview. Hamilton 1960 printed no total-score severity bands; later 0-7/8-16/17-23/>=24 cutoffs are not applied. Not a diagnosis and not a medical device.
Output
Returns the total Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (1960, 17-item) score as an integer between 0 and 50, computed by summing all 17 caller-assigned item ratings. No severity band labels are applied, no diagnosis is made, and the endpoint does not conduct patient interviews.
Example use cases
Psychiatric intake scoring workflow
“I just finished rating a patient on the 17 Hamilton depression items from the 1960 paper — depressed mood 2, guilt 1, suicide 0, initial insomnia 1, middle insomnia 1, delayed insomnia 0, work and interests 2, retardation 1, agitation 0, psychic anxiety 2, somatic anxiety 1, GI somatic 1, general somatic 1, genital symptoms 0, hypochondriasis 1, insight 0, weight loss 1 — can you calculate the total HAMD score for me?”
Clinical trial baseline depression score
“For a research participant entering a depression trial, we need the Hamilton 1960 total score. Their ratings are: depressed mood 4, guilt 3, suicide 2, initial insomnia 2, middle insomnia 2, delayed insomnia 2, work and interests 4, retardation 3, agitation 2, psychic anxiety 3, somatic anxiety 3, GI somatic 2, general somatic 2, genital symptoms 2, hypochondriasis 3, insight 1, weight loss 2 — what's the total out of 50?”
Treatment response monitoring score
“My patient's follow-up Hamilton depression item ratings are: depressed mood 1, guilt 0, suicide 0, initial insomnia 1, middle insomnia 0, delayed insomnia 0, work and interests 1, retardation 0, agitation 0, psychic anxiety 1, somatic anxiety 1, GI somatic 0, general somatic 1, genital symptoms 0, hypochondriasis 1, insight 0, weight loss 0 — please calculate their current HDRS-17 total so I can compare to their baseline.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/hamilton_depressionWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to compute the original Hamilton 1960 17-variable depression total score (range 0–50) precisely, including agitation as a 3-point item rather than the later 21-item revision. Prefer this over the 21-item HAM-D or other depression scales when the 1960 protocol is specified by a study, clinician workflow, or legacy system. It is a pure arithmetic summation service — fast, deterministic, and reproducible for structured clinical data pipelines.
Side effects
- Missing any of the 17 required query parameters returns a validation error
- Integer values out of range for a given item (e.g. agitation >2 or guilt >4) are rejected
- Non-integer values for item scores cause a schema validation failure
- Payment of 0.005 USDC via x402 required per call; missing or invalid payment returns a 402 error
