We are looking for a "fast" (màx. 1 hour) diagnostic tool for mental health disorders in children and adolescence.

Many thanks Gökmen. I don't know much about these tools cause I usually work with adult population, but I'll take a look at them.
The PADDI-5 (Practical Adolescent Dual Diagnostic Interview – 5) is a structured interview designed for an age range of 12-18 compatible with the DSM-5 and requiring about 35 to 45 minutes for administration. Plan about 5 or so minutes for scoring. It covers indications for major depression, manic episodes, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), conduct and oppositional disorder and substance use disorders. The interview also asks questions about harm to self or others and victimization (physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.
The PADDI-5 is available from The Change Companies (888-889-8866). Questions of a clinical nature can be directed to me at [email protected].
