TI  - Depression in schizophrenia: a comparison of three measures.
PG  - 205-9
AB  - Depression, as a feature of schizophrenia, is well established. However, 
      clarifying the exact nature of this relationship has been problematic. The 
      clinical measures routinely utilized to evaluate depression have not been 
      specifically designed for use in schizophrenia, and it is well recognized that a 
      variety of depressive symptoms overlap with other features common to this 
      illness, e.g. negative symptoms, neuroleptic induced side effects. The present 
      study compared three commonly used measures of depression (Hamilton Depression 
      Rating Scale (Ham-D), Calgary Depression Scale (CDS) and the depression subscale 
      of the Positive and Negative Syndrome scale (PANSS-D) in a group of outpatients 
      with schizophrenia, evaluating the degree of association between the scales. 
      Additionally, the relationship between each of the depression measures, negative 
      symptoms and extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) was calculated. Results revealed that 
      all three measures of depression were significantly correlated, although the CDS 
      was unique in its ability to distinguish between depression, negative symptoms 
      and EPS. It is concluded that the CDS, when compared with the HAM-D and the 
      PANSS-D, is the most suitable measure of depression in schizophrenia.
