Abstract
The Beck Depression Inventory–II total scores of 35 (14%) outpatients who were diagnosed with a mild DSM–IV Major Depressive Episode (MDE), 144 (55%) outpatients with a moderate MDE, and 81 (31%) outpatients with a severe MDE were compared. The mean BDI–II total scores were, respectively, 18 ( SD = 8, 99% CI 12–23), 27 ( SD = 10, 99% CI 24–29), and 34 ( SD = 10, 99% CI 30–37) ( F2,257 = 33.25, p < .001). The mean BDI–II total score of the outpatients with a severe specifier was significantly higher than the mean BDI–II total score of the outpatients with a moderate specifier which was, in turn, significantly higher than the mean BDI–II total score of the outpatients with a mild specifier.Keywords
