Time Linkage

Activity and mood entries need enough timing information to support meaningful pattern review.

Partial Data

Partial days and missing periods remain visible so sparse data is not overstated.

Next Step

The diary can inform an activity planning diary, weekly activity schedule, or pleasure and mastery review.

Is this a depression assessment?

No. It is an activity monitoring diary that maps reported activities and mood; it does not produce a diagnostic score.

Can the diary use flexible entries instead of fixed intervals?

Yes. The diary time structure can use fixed intervals or flexible timestamped entries.

What if the client records activity without mood?

The entry remains visible as incomplete linkage rather than being discarded.

Who identifies avoidance or low reinforcement?

The practitioner interprets the reported pattern. The system may organize data descriptively but does not make clinical conclusions.
