(A) The percentage of questions within each assessment tool, averaged across each disorder, which asked about the severity (dark blue), presence (mid blue), frequency (light blue), duration (dark red), timing (light red) of the symptom. (B) Diagram illustrating the method of development of the Mental Health Quotient. A total of 126 commonly used psychiatric assessment tools covering 10 disorders (as well as those taking a cross-disorder approach and elements from RDoc and dementia) were reviewed and consolidated into 43 symptom categories. ADHD: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; ASD: autism spectrum disorder; DSM: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; OCD: obsessive-compulsive disorder; PTSD: post-traumatic stress disorder; RDoC: Research Domain Criteria. (C) Representation of symptom categories across disorders. For each questionnaire or interview, the proportion of questions corresponding to each symptom category was calculated and averaged within a particular disorder to provide an aggregate view. Colours show the proportion (%) of questions from each of the 43 symptom categories for each disorder (averaged across assessment tools) and for cross disorder tools (white = 0%). Reproduced from [15]
