Depressive disorders

Depressive disorders are detected by means of the Patient Health Questionnaire, Depression Scale (PHQ-8). Based on the presence of a number of symptoms, including depressed mood and/or loss of interest or pleasure, as well as their frequency over the past two weeks, a three-level summary index is calculated: major depression, other depressive symptoms, no depressive symptoms.
