Depression ~ Grief ~ Guilt ~ Life Simplifier
Dashometrics mood management products are built on the simple premise that if we understand what causes our moods and are willing to take action on those causes, that we will improve our mood conditions and have a better life. The core product in this category is the Emotional Dashboard-8 and we highly encourage our users to use this product integrally with our other related mood management products.
Emotional Dashboard-8
|
The Emotional Dashboard-8 is Dashometrics' premier and truly revolutionary product that holistically looks at all of the mood, mental and physiological states that most disrupt human functioning and create the most discomfort. This product will help build the internal awareness of all who use it and their personal responsibility for taking action on those things that cause pain and negative mood. Providers who use this form frequently will also find the open questions have very high diagnostic value for determining level of personal responsibility and what pre-existing strengths provider and respondent can build off of.

Emotional Dashboard-8
|
The Emotional Dashboard-8 Stage 2 is a tool for more advanced respondents to use so that they can begin to differentiate external stimulus to mood conditions (events and circumstances) from internal stimulus (thoughts and interpretations).

Emotional Dashboard-8
|
The Emotional Dashboard-8 Mood Management is a powerful tool for helping provider and respondent understand 1) the respondent’s long-term mood history 2) how respondents subjectively experience the different negative mood conditions in terms of difficulty and 3) the degree to which the stimulus structure for each one is more internal or external.

Anxiety Spectrum-1
|
The Anxiety Spectrum-1 is the strongest brief assessment tool there is for the measurement and monitoring of anxiety. Its first section conforms to the DSM-ICD diagnostic criteria. The response items are worded carefully to allow anxiety to be scaled for autonomic intensity and to be differentiated from depression. The second section allows “red-flagging” specific sub-forms of anxiety such as agoraphobia and PTSD that can be further assess and incorporated into treatment. This instrumental also comes with an interpretation guide.

Anxiety Spectrum-1
|
The Anxiety Spectrum-1 Interpretation Guide gives critically useful information about interpreting the Anxiety Spectrum-1. Total scores on anxiety measuring instruments do not always establish clinical relevance – there are a number of considerations that must be taken into account, and our interpretation guide provides a structure for doing so. It also helps with the all-important differentiation of symptoms between anxiety and depression, which are co-morbid so often they can sometimes be confusing.

|
Anxiety Spectrum-1
|
The Anxiety Spectrum-1 Supplement allows respondents and providers to look for and identify longer term anxiety stimulating conditions and circumstances in their life. By understand their longer term anxiety structure they will “bend their curve” downward so that their anxiety has a progressively lower “baseline”. With a lower baseline, the shorter term anxiety events will feel less de-stabilizing and intense. It will also help client’s better understand anxiety and in doing so reduce their “secondary” anxiety – anxiety about anxiety.
|
|
Anger Spectrum-1
|
The Anger Spectrum-1 is an instrument designed to identify people who are at risk of harming others (including through violence). It is NOT intended to identify people who are actively planning violence and want to conceal their intent and plan, as they can easily create an invalid profile. We also believe that with increased usage of this instrument, research will be able to help determine more specific response profiles that will be increasingly predictive.
|
|
Anger Spectrum-1
|
The Anger Spectrum-1 Interpretation and Intervention Guides are intended to help both trained and untrained users manage situations where a respondent’s answers suggest an elevated risk of violence.
|
|
Anger Spectrum-2
|
The Anger Spectrum-2 is one of the few, if only, brief assessment tools that not only diagnoses anger but also provides a therapeutic framework for treating it. It is intended to compliment the Guilt Spectrum-1 and users will instantly understand the symmetry between these two instruments. This instrument will allow you to scale the intensity of anger, understand if the patient or client experiences anger in a rational way and help allow them to act on their anger in the productive way human beings are meant to.

Stored Anger Worksheet
|
The Stored Anger Worksheet is a tool to provide a structure for respondent’s to release stored anger, a concept that is discussed in the Anger Spectrum-1 Interpretation and Intervention Guides.
|
|
Confusion Spectrum-1
|
The Confusion Spectrum-1 is a critical tool that allows providers to constructively intervene when confusion is an issue, and differentiate the many different forms of confusion. This instrument allows the screen of biological or neurological forms of confusion that are best treated by specialists (conditions such as head injury, stroke and dementia, among others). It also allows the distinction between shorter term forms of confusion that often self-resolve and longer term forms that may be associated with schizophrenia, delusionality or other more long-term psychological issues.

The Confusion Spectrum-1 Interpretation Guide and Intervention Guide provide a structure for interpreting the Grief Spectrum-1 and then treatment planning and intervention based on this interpretation.

Depression Spectrum-1
|
The Depression Spectrum-1 provides the most complete single panel assessment of depression on the market today. The first section is DSM-ICD conforming and its questions are meant to help providers discriminate between anxiety and depression. One part of the second section allows a brief assessment of client’s use of agency/personal power and whether they exhibit signs of learned helplessness. The other part of the second section allows a brief assessment of the client’s use of, or alienation from, social help and resources.
|
|
Depression Spectrum-1
|
The Depression Spectrum-1 Supplement is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows providers and respondents to better see the course and trajectory of their depression in both short and long term. This helps both parties understand the role of key external events that affect depression levels and reminds both to “manage externals”. It can also help with differential diagnosis of Bi-Polar conditions and thereby reduce over-diagnoses of Bi-Polar disorders.

|
Depression Spectrum-1
|
The Depression Spectrum-1 Interpretation Guide provides a means by which to make the total scores and individual responses of the Depression Spectrum-1 more relevant. With ever more widespread usage of total score brief assessments used to screen for depression and anxiety, we find it is critically important to have an informed basis for interpretation, as raw scores alone have a number of critical limitations which are discussed more fully in our interpretation guides.
|
|
Grief Spectrum-1
|
The Grief Spectrum-1 is designed to help providers respond compassionately and non-avoidantly to grief. It will also help respondents differentiate grief from other related emotions and to differentiate simple from complicated forms of grief.

Guilt Spectrum-1
|
The Guilt Spectrum-1 is one of the few, if only, brief assessment tools that not only diagnoses guilt but also provides a therapeutic framework for treating it. It is intended to compliment the Anger Spectrum-1 and users will instantly understand the symmetry between these two instruments. This instrument will allow you to scale the intensity of guilt, understand if the patient or client experiences guilt in a rational way and help allow them to act on their guilt in the productive way human beings are meant to.

Guilt Resolution Worksheet
|
The Guilt Resolution Worksheet has two primary functions. The first is to help respondents understand when their guilt is irrational and therefore unnecessary. This is when they have not caused actual harm to others. The second function is to help respondents release rational or justified guilt by planning appropriate amends, apologies or compensation to those they have harmed.
|
|
Pain Spectrum
|
The Pain Spectrum-1 is an instrument to help provider and patient better understand the sources of pain and the various operants which either increase or decrease the experience of pain. It is also designed to increase patient responsibility for the management of their pain, including helping them better identify and communicate necessary information to their providers.
|
|
Sleep Assessment-1
|
The Sleep Assessment-1 looks at the various factors that go into determining the quality of sleep and restoration, including, but not limited to, so called sleep hygiene issues. Sleep disruption is both cause and effect of mood disorder and functional restriction. It is a complicated issue, yet our experience tells us that for many therapy clients or medical patients, there are a lot of voluntary choices that contribute to the difficulty.
|
|
Self Soother-1
|
While we prefer not to experience negative mood conditions in the first place, it is also important to know how to tolerate and de-escalate these mood conditions when we do experience them. The Self-Soother-1 provides a structure for assessing what skills a respondent already has in this area and what additional skills it would be useful for them to acquire.
|
|
Mindfulness-1
|
Mindfulness-1 is a great tool for helping clients connect to their emotions, and also explore the idea of mind-body connectedness. This is helpful for anyone working on mood regulation, as well as clients specifically diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, or experiencing a wide array of mood disturbance. It also indicates to the clinician areas around mindfulness skills that the client would like to work on in therapy together.

|
Life Simplifier-1
|
Life Simplifier-1 is a product that is almost universally beneficial, but is especially useful for reducing anxiety and should be used with any client that has higher anxiety. It is a rare client who cannot reduce their baseline of anxiety at least somewhat by better understanding how and where they are taking on too much in their life. This product creates a simple and easy to use structure to simplify life and live more effectively.
