目前对重性抑郁症的测量主要集中在抑郁症状的评估上，而往往忽略了其他共同特征。然而，焦虑谱中的共病特征的存在影响结果并可能影响治疗。需要更全面的抑郁症措施，包括评估焦虑抑郁症谱中的症状。本研究旨在探讨抑郁症状问卷（SDQ）的信度和效度，该问卷评估了易怒，愤怒攻击，焦虑症状以及通常认为的抑郁症状。SDQ的因素结构分析确定了5个分量表，其中包括一个焦虑抑郁谱，具有足够的内部一致性和并行效度。SDQ可能是一个有价值的新工具，可以更好地描述抑郁症，识别和管理更有针对性的干预措施。
Current measures for major depressive disorder focus primarily on the assessment of depressive symptoms, while often omitting other common features. However, the presence of comorbid features in the anxiety spectrum influences outcome and may effect treatment. More comprehensive measures of depression are needed that include the assessment of symptoms in the anxiety–depression spectrum. This study examines the reliability and validity of the Symptoms of Depression Questionnaire (SDQ), which assesses irritability, anger attacks, and anxiety symptoms together with the commonly considered symptoms of depression. Analysis of the factor structure of the SDQ identified 5 subscales, including one in the anxiety–depression spectrum, with adequate internal consistency and concurrent validity. The SDQ may be a valuable new tool to better characterize depression and identify and administer more targeted interventions.
