Psychiatry Calculators

8 Psychiatry calculators with educational summaries for clinical reference.

What this collection covers

Psychiatry pages provide structured scoring and screening references for symptoms, risk assessment, substance use, cognition, and treatment monitoring. A score can organize a conversation but cannot capture the full history, mental-state examination, or social context.

How to choose a tool

Use only a tool whose population, language, purpose, and administration conditions match the encounter. Distinguish screening from diagnosis and symptom severity from immediate safety assessment.

Safe interpretation

Any concern about self-harm, harm to others, psychosis, severe withdrawal, or inability to care for basic needs requires direct clinical assessment and local emergency support. Do not use a calculator result to delay urgent help.
