>It seems the test is geared towards people whose problems are recently developed.

Good point. I also think it's important to consider whether such tests are a good measure of AD efficacy eg. if an AD improved subjective symptoms of depression but reduced appetite and caused insomnia etc... it might be deemed ineffective according to the HAM-D.

On the other hand, if an AD improved sleep and increased appetite etc... it might appear to be an effective AD despite the fact that patients' subjective depressive symptoms were not improved.
