“…It has good internal consis-tency and acceptable test-retest reliability. 32,174 It has acceptable construct validity 32,174,175 and discriminant validity (no depression vs. major depressive disorder), 176,177 but it may lack utility in distinguishing between gradations of severity within the clinical range of depression (minor vs. major depression). 178 The scale is in the public domain (see, for example, Table 3 located in Supplementary Materials) and has been translated and used in multiple European, Middle Eastern, and Asian languages.…”

Depression is a common comorbid condition in Parkinson's disease (PD) and a major contributor to poor quality of life and disability. However, depression can be difficult to assess in patients with PD due to overlapping symptoms and difficulties in the assessment of depression in cognitively impaired patients. As several rating scales have been used to assess depression in PD (dPD), the Movement Disorder Society commissioned a task force to assess their clinimetric properties and make clinical recommendations regarding their use. A systematic literature review was conducted to explore the use of depression scales in PD and determine which scales should be selected for this review. The scales reviewed were the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Hamilton Depression Scale (Ham-D), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part I, Cornell Scale for the Assessment of Depression in Dementia (CSDD), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Seven clinical researchers with clinical and research experience in the assessment of dPD were assigned to review the scales using a structured format. The most appropriate scale is dependent on the clinical or research goal. However, observer-rated scales are preferred if the study or clinical situation permits. For screening purposes, the HAM-D, BDI, HADS, MADRS, and GDS are valid in dPD. The CES-D and CSDD are alternative instruments that need validation in dPD. For measurement of severity of depressive symptoms, the Ham-D, MADRS, BDI, and SDS scales are recommended. Further studies are needed to validate the CSDD, which could be particularly useful for the assessment of severity of dPD in patients with comorbid dementia. To account for overlapping motor and nonmotor symptoms of depression, adjusted instrument cutoff scores may be needed for dPD, and scales to assess severity of motor symptoms (e.g., UPDRS) should also be included to help adjust for confounding factors. The HADS and the GDS include limited motor symptom assessment and may, therefore, be most useful in rating depression severity across a range of PD severity; however, these scales appear insensitive in severe depression. The complex and time-consuming task of developing a new scale to measure depression specifically for patients with PD is currently not warranted.

“…An invariant pattern of factor loadings of the SIDES subscales across different samples is an indication of the stability of the factor structure. Replication of a factorial composition derived from a reference sample (e.g., the n 1 Ethiopian sample) in another sample is an indicator of construct validity (Devins et al, 1988). Similarity of patterns of factor loadings can be defined on different levels; thus there are different hypotheses to test the similarity of factorial composition (Bollen, 1991;Joreskog & Sorbom, 1993).…”

“…Fifty-two respondents were women, and 30 were African American. Thirty-six stated that they were depressed, whereas 33% were considered depressed using the CES-D (Devins, Orme, Costello, & Yitzchak, 1988;Radloff, 1977) a standardized depression screening tool. The mean age of the sample was 76 years.…”

“Pull Yourself Up by Your Bootstraps”: A Response to Depression in Older Adults

Although depression is one of the most common problems among adults in primary care settings, many do not seek or adhere to the treatment regimens suggested by their providers. Understanding the cultural model surrounding depression and its treatment in older adults might provide insight into the development of more effective strategies for addressing the problem in the clinical setting. In this study, the authors conducted semistructured interviews with adults over age 65. Personal responsibility for the management of depression emerged as a pervasive approach to dealing with depression. Older adults used orientational and movement metaphors to describe the process of moving out of depression. They viewed initiation and follow-through of this process as the sole responsibility of the depressed individual. This attitude might be rooted in the cultural experiences of this particular cohort of older adults and has implications for their use of physical and mental health services for depression.
