The CGI-S scale was used by clinicians when assessing their global impression of a patient's current clinical condition. The investigator or subinvestigator used his/her clinical experience with this patient population to rate the severity of a subject's clinical condition on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (Normal, not at all ill) to 7 (Among the most extremely ill patients).
