Abstract
A new self-rating scale, the General Behavior Inventory (GBI), was lower in eight controls and 61 patients in remission than in 32 depressed patients. Scores of depressed patients decreased over treatment time. GBI score correlated significantly with the past occurrence of manic plus depressive symptoms per visit and past mean mood shift per visit.Keywords
