What? For humans they use validated depression surveys conducted by medical professionals.

You can look it up in any of the drug labels.

A 4-week study of inpatients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for MDD with melancholia utilizing Effexor in a range of 150 to 375 mg per day (divided in a three-times-a-day schedule) demonstrated superiority of Effexor over placebo based on the HAM-D-21 total score. The mean dose in completers was 350 mg per day (study 3).

They do these tests after, but they are expensive. The pre-screening before they reach this point is as above plus others I am sure I don't know about.
