About#

The Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) is a standardized tool used to evaluate the severity of a disorder and the improvement over time in clinical settings. It consists of two main components: CGI-Severity, which rates the severity of illness at a given time, and CGI-Improvement, which assesses the change in the patient’s condition following treatment. The CGI is useful in providing a simple, yet effective measure of clinical progress, facilitating comparisons across different interventions, and supporting the evaluation of treatment efficacy in diverse psychiatric and medical conditions.
