header-2header-2 The Geriatric Depression Scale (Short Version)

depression test woman

depression test womanDepression is not a natural part of life and aging. And if you won’t treat it, results will affect your every part of life on all levels: physically, cognitively, functionally and socially, as well as it will decrease the quality of life, delay recovery from medical illness and surgery, and increase health care utilization and suicide.

The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), first created by Yesavage, et al., has been tested and widely used with the older population. Though it was found to have a 92% sensitivity and an 89% specificity when evaluated against diagnostic criteria, it is not in any case a substitute for a diagnostic interview by mental health professionals. It remains the most used depression test worldwide.

Instruction: this depression test consists of 30 questions. You need to answer “yes” or “no” for every question.

Choose the best answer for how you have felt over the past week.
