Kiddle Schedule For Affective Disorders And Schizophrenia (KSADS)

Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (KSADS) is a semi-structured interview format which is aimed at reaching an early diagnosis of affective disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorder). Because of its flexibility, it can be easily adjusted for the age group and or specific symptoms of the patient.

There are currently four different versions of the test that are structured to include interviews with both the child and the parents or guardians.
