Definition:
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a widely used screening scale for depression. It consists of six subscales of depressed mood, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, psychomotor retardation, loss of appetite, and sleep disturbance. The CES-D queries a patient's depression symptoms in the last week, with each question is scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (rarely/none of the time) to 3 (most/all of the time). Scores for items 4, 8, 12, and 16 are reversed before summing all items to yield a total score. A score of 16 or higher has been used to indicate highly depressive symptoms.
