Validity of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 in neurologic populations.
Authors
Abstract
Because of symptom overlap, there is uncertainty about the validity of depression rating scales in neurologic populations. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the validity of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for detecting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-defined major depressive episodes in people with neurologic conditions.
