Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia
The Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) is a widely-used tool for assessing depression in individuals with schizophrenia. It can help to identify symptoms of depression and assess response to treatments. The CDSS is a 12- item self-report questionnaire which assesses the severity of depression in people with schizophrenia. It is designed to be completed in less than 10 minutes and is easily administered, both in clinical and research settings. The CDSS has been found to be reliable, valid, and responsive to changes in depression symptoms over time. It is a valuable tool for clinicians, researchers, and other professionals in helping to accurately diagnose and monitor depression in people with schizophrenia.
