An Approach to the Child Depression by Means of CDS Applied for Pubescent Children

Kodaki, Nobuo

Description
CDS was applied for 13 children, inpatients at neighboring psychiatric wards and 60 children attending a neighboring junior high school. Both groups were roughly matched in terms of sex and age. In treating CDS scores, a special process was introduced by the author in our research, in which D-scores and P-scores were separately counted and analysed. This process was prompted by the view that the so-called 'inability to experience pleasure' is the critical point in distinguishing the morbid depressive mood of patients from the ordinary gloomy mood of non-patients. The results indicated that the new procedure in CDS scoring was apparently more effective for rating depressiveness with CDS.
