“…The cut point to diagnose depression was a score of 20 or above. [18] A BDI score between 20 and 30 suggests moderate depression symptoms, and a BDI score higher than 30 suggests severe depression with the need for mental health intervention. Therefore in this study, we refer BDI of ≥ 20 as "depression" and BDI < 20 as "non-depression" in categorical analyses.…”

Background: There is a growing interest in exploring the prevalence of comorbid depression in patients with hypertension, and its impact on their physical functioning, quality of life, and healthcare utilization. However, limited data is available from developing countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, on the prevalence of depression in patients with hypertension. Aim: The main objective of our study was to investigate the prevalence of depression and associated factors among hypertensive patients attending a tertiary health care clinic in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study, with 211 hypertensive patients attending the Out-Patient Department of King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, for a period of 1-month commencing from 15th October to 14th November 2016. Hypertensive patients were given a structured questionnaire regarding socio-demographic data, associated risk factors, and the Beck Depression Inventory-1a (BDI) scale (valid in Arabic version) to assess Depression level. Blood pressure was measured using a manual mercury column sphygmomanometer. Result: 211 hypertensive patients were studied, 127 (60.2%) patients were males and 84 (39.8%) were female. The mean BDI score for all hypertensive patients in this study was 7.35 ± 11.68. The proportion of hypertensive patients with depression (BDI score ≥20) was 20.7%. Conclusion: Depression is highly prevalent in hypertensive patients in Saudi Arabia. Further research into effective management and screening for depression in hypertensive patients is warranted.

“…The scoring algorithm defines scores of 0-9 points as indicating minimum depression; 10-16 points as indicating low depression; 17-29 points as indicating moderate depression; and 30-63 points as indicating major depression. The BDI is being used as a standard reference and is one of the most common self-report scales used to assess depression 22 including in adolescents 23 .…”

Objective: To assess depression and anxiety symptoms of adolescents with epilepsy compared with adolescents without epilepsy. Method: The study sample consisted of: case participants (50 subjects) attending the pediatric epilepsy clinic of a tertiary hospital and control participants (51 subjects) from public schools. The instruments utilized were: identification card with demographic and epilepsy data, Beck Depression Inventory and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: No significant differences were founded between the groups regarding scores for depression and anxiety symptoms but both groups presented moderate scores of anxiety. A correlation was found between low scores anxiety and not frequent seizures, low scores anxiety and perception of seizure control, high scores of anxiety and depression and occurrence of seizures in public places. Conclusion: Low scores of anxiety are associated with not frequent seizures; high scores of anxiety and depression are associated with occurrence of seizures in public places.

“…The instrument has been administered extensively and shown to have good reliability coefficients ranging from 0.73 to 0.92 (29). The BDI has been shown to have good convergent and discriminatory validity in inpatient adolescents (30)(31)(32)(33), outpatient adolescents (34,35), and nonclinical adolescent populations (36,37). While scores on the BDI II of 0-9 are considered normal, scores of greater than or equal to 10 indicate that the individual is symptomatic (38).…”

This longitudinal pilot study of adolescent renal transplant recipients (a) describes the prevalence of psychological distress, (b) describes the prevalence of nonadherence, and (c) explores the association between the recipient's psychological distress and his/her subsequent medical adherence. Twenty-two adolescents, aged 13-18 years, completed two interviews that were separated by approximately 12 months. Psychological distress was assessed in three domains: symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger. Adherence was assessed in three domains: medication taking, blood work, and clinic attendance. At the initial interview, 36.4% had symptoms of depression, 36.4% endorsed anxiety, and 18.2% endorsed excessive state anger. Non-adherence rates were 13.6% for medication, 22.7% for blood work, and 50% for missed clinic. At the second interview, nonadherence with medication remained the same and the other domains decreased. Our small pilot sample, however, limited our ability to detect statistically significant changes over time. Predictive analyses demonstrated that adolescents with excessive anger were at greater risk for subsequently missing medications than adolescents without excessive anger. These findings suggest that while symptoms of depression and anxiety are observed among some adolescents with renal transplants, only anger is associated with elevated risk for nonadherence with medication.
