Validación de la versión peruana del PHQ-9 para el diagnóstico de depresión

Abstract: Sr. Editor. Las enfermedades psiquiátricas explican el 16% de los años de vida saludable perdidos por discapacidad o muerte prematura en el Perú, lo que coloca a este grupo de enfermedades como la causa más importante de carga de enfermedad en el país. De estas, la depresión unipolar es una de las más importantes, junto con los problemas relacionados al consumo de alcohol (1) .
