Talk:Rating scales for depression

For further growing
In the following link there is a list of different questionnaires and links to their commercial links. It could be useful to anybody interested in improving the article: --Garrondo (talk) 12:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I also leave here the citation for the wechsler depression rating scale: We have no further info on the scale but the name and original citation. If some info is found it can be re-added to the article: Wechsler Depression Rating Scale --Garrondo (talk) 16:36, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Why this article called a list?
It's obviously more than that. Xasodfuih (talk) 13:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I initially wrote it in list form, but it was later changed... It could be renamed if nobody disagrees (I do not know how to do it). --Garrondo (talk) 08:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I've renamed it. Xasodfuih (talk) 15:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Questioning the validity of rating scales for depression
Several excellent research articles have come out in the past several years that question the validity of sum-score rating scales for depression. I think a section discussing the problems of reliability and validity of depression scores would be beneficial.
