Depression – more than ‘in the mind’ Adapted from American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Fourth Edition, Text Revision. Washington, DC; American Psychiatric Association. 2000:345-356,489.
We may not know ... N = 1146 Primary care patients with major depression Simon GE, et al. N England J Med. 1999;341(18):1329-1335. In a New England Journal of Medicine study, 69% of diagnosed depressed patients reported unexplained physical symptoms (MUS) as their chief compliant (n=1146)
Sensitivity & Specificity (1 of 2) • Sensitivitymeasures the proportion of actual positives which are correctly identified as such (e.g. the percentage of sick people correctly identified as having the condition) • Specificity- the proportion of negatives correctly identified (e.g. the percentage of healthy people who are correctly identified as not having the condition)
Sensitivity & Specificity (2 of 2) • A perfect predictor would be 100% sensitive (i.e. identifying all sick people as sick) and 100% specific (i.e. not identifying anyone healthy as sick) • As sensitivity goes up, specificity usually falls and vice versa
Type I and Type II errors • A ‘type I’ error is a false positive. Usually a type I error leads one to conclude that a relationship exists when it doesn't. For example, that a patient has a disease being tested for, when the patient does not have the disease • A ‘type II’ error is a false negative. An example of a type II error would be a test failing to detect the disease in a patient who really has the disease

‘And I See Rest’ • In addition to all the ‘AND’ criteria, three or more of the ‘I C REST’ symptoms are also necessary to meet DSM-IV-TR criteria for GAD Failure to answer positively to all the first three questions makes a diagnosis of GAD unlikely, and proceeding with the remainder of the mnemonic unnecessary
PHQ-9 • Nine questions about depression symptoms scored from 0 to 3 • Total score ranges from 0 to 27 • A score of 10 or above is a potential cut-point for a diagnosis of depression (Lowe et al, 2004) • Severity bands are: 0-4 not depressed, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-19 moderate / severe and 20-27 severe depression
GAD-7 • The GAD-7 is a seven-item measure of the severity of anxiety symptoms (Spitzer et al, 2006) • The measure uses the same response options and item scores as the PHQ-9 • Total scores range from 0 to 21 • A score of 8 or more suggests a diagnosis of anxiety • Severity bands are: 0-4 not anxious, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-21 severe anxiety
