Geriatric Depression Scale (from up to date)

    • The Geriatric Depression Scale This self-report instrument has been studied in multiple settings [87,88]. A five-item version demonstrated good receiver operating characteristics across the full spectrum of elderly populations [88]. The five items are:
    • Are you basically satisfied with your life?
    • Do you often get bored?
    • Do you often feel helpless?
    • Do you prefer to stay at home rather than going out and doing new things?
    • Do you feel pretty worthless the way you are now?

Two out of five depressive responses ("no" to question 1 or "yes" to questions 2 through 5) suggests the diagnosis of depression
