We administered the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) to twenty-two elderly, cognitively intact subjects who met DSM-III-R criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The sample comprised 14 males and 8 females, with a mean age of 66.05 years. The two scales had a low intercorrelation (Pearson's r = .33). The GDS in our sample appeared much more sensitive in eliciting depressive symptoms than the HAM-D. Frequently reported symptoms of depression in this elderly sample were well represented on the Geriatric Depression Scale. For example, most of the patients reported diminished social activities with accompanying malaise and boredom. Cognitive and affective symptoms were also widely reported. In contrast, these symptoms are not assessed as thoroughly on the HAM-D, with few items addressing these symptoms. |
