There are several scales to assess depression used today, such as the BDI-II (Beck's Depression Inventory - II), HRSD (Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression), PHQ (Patient Health Questionnaire) and so forth. There are also more general scales used to assess multiple possible mental illnesses, such as the MMPI - II. In the psychiatrist report, does it indicate which scale was used?

OR, is it labelled as Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF)?
