Abstract

Consistent with the format of Chap. 8, this chapter will emphasize methods and procedures for the assessment of depression and mood disorders. Because there is modest to high comorbidity between anxiety and depression, many interview questions are similar, and the various measures contain comparable, if not virtually identical, items and response formats.
