Abstract

This study examined the relationship between Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores and current diagnosis of depression, based on The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Diagnosis (SCID).

BDI scores, number of symptoms reported on a symptom checklist and DSM-IV diagnosis of depression. BDI symptoms correlated significantly with the SCID diagnosis of depression (r = .30) but were more strongly related (r = .67) to the number of non-depression-related problems reported, using the TIRR Symptom Checklist, a list of symptoms frequently found post TBI. The BDI had low sensitivity for discriminating depressed from nondepressed individuals (sensitivity = 36% when specificity was set at 80%). These results suggest that for individuals with TBI, high BDI scores may reflect hyperreactivity to post-TBI symptoms to a greater extent than clinical depression. Further study is needed to (1) understand the physiological, functional, and psychosocial factors that are associated with depression in individuals with TBI; (2) provide the basis ...Continue Reading
