Background: Reported rates of depression in schizophrenia vary considerably.Objective: To measure the prevalence of depression in a first episode sample of people with schizophrenia.Methods: All referrals with a first episode of schizophrenia diagnosed using SCID interviews were assessed pre-discharge and again six months later. We used the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) to assess the severity of symptoms.Results: Pre-discharge, 10.4% of the sample met CDSS criteria for depression. According to the PANSS depression (PANSS -D) subscale, 3% of patients were depressed, with a mean score of 7.48 (SD = 2.97). Only 3% of patients pre-discharge were found to be depressed on both the CDSS and the PANSS-D. Six months later 6.5% were depressed according to the CDSS. However none reached depression criteria according to the PANSS-D. The CDSS correlated with PANSS-D both pre-discharge and at follow-up. Feelings of depression and self-deprecation were the most common symptoms at baseline and follow-up. The CDSS was unrelated to negative symptoms at both stages. A lifetime history of alcohol abuse increased the risk for depression.Conclusion: Rates of depression in this sample were low. The CDSS appears to discriminate between depression and negative symptoms. Like the general population, alcohol misuse is a risk factor for depression in first episode schizophrenia.

Background/Aims: Researchers have shown interest in the association between anhedonia and depression in schizophrenia. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between physical and social anhedonia with depression in a sample of inpatients with schizophrenia in the acute phase of their illness. Methods: Sixty-two patients with acute schizophrenia consecutively admitted at the Eginition Hospital, Department of Psychiatry, University of Athens were assessed using the revised Physical Anhedonia Scale, the revised Social Anhedonia Scale and the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia. Results: The Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia score correlated with both physical anhedonia and social anhedonia ratings. The revised Social Anhedonia Scale score significantly correlated to self-depreciation, guilty ideas of reference, pathological guilt, early wakening, suicidality and observed depression. The revised Physical Anhedonia Scale score significantly correlated with depressive mood, self-depreciation, pathological guilt and observed depression. Self-depreciation, pathological guilt and observed depression were correlated with both social and physical anhedonia. Conclusion: Depression in schizophrenia and anhedonia may overlap, and it could therefore be difficult to clinically differentiate them, especially in acute schizophrenia patients.

“…This result supports the high internal consistency of the CDSS, which was also found in other versions, including the Japanese version (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82), the Greek version (Cronbach's alpha = 0.87), Table 1 The internal reliability analysis and the inter-rater reliability of the Thai version of the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia and the French version (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82). [16][17][18] All the items appeared to correlate well with the scale overall, although the item-total correlation was low in early wakening (C7). This finding was similar to that reported in the French version.…”

“…These findings are similar to those for other versions of the CDSS. 16,18,19 The test-retest was done at intervals of 3 days or more. Although depression in patients with schizophrenia might change over time, the test-retest reliability for the total score of the Thai version of the CDSS in this study was high, with an ICC of 0.861.…”

Aim:The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Thai version of the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) for the evaluation of depression in patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Sixty patients with schizophrenia according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fourth Edition; Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria were recruited to the study. The Thai version of the CDSS, the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, 17-item version (HDRS-17), and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) were administered. A major depressive episode diagnosed by a psychiatrist according to the DSM-IV-TR was used as a gold standard. Results: The internal consistency of the Thai version of the CDSS was very good (Cronbach's alpha = 0.869). The inter-rater reliability was found to be in substantial agreement with the intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.979. The test-retest reliability over a period of 3 days was high, with an intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.861. The Thai version of the CDSS showed significant correlations with the MADRS (r = 0.887), the HDRS-17 (r = 0.865), and the depression item of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS-G6) (r = 0.833). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the CDSS, MADRS, HDRS-17, and PANSS-G6 against the DSM-IV-TR criteria for major depressive episode were 0.993, 0.954, 0.966, and 0.933, respectively. The optimal cut-off score to discriminate between depressed and non-depressed patients was 6/7, with a sensitivity of 92.31% and specificity of 97.87%. Conclusion:The Thai version of the CDSS is a reliable and valid measure for the evaluation of depression in Thai patients with schizophrenia.
