老年抑郁量表(GDS)
老年抑郁量表(Geriatric Depression Scale, GDS)是由Yesavage等人于1982年开发的一种专门用于评估老年人抑郁症状的自我报告问卷。GDS设计初衷是为了克服传统抑郁评估工具在应用于老年人群体时遇到的一些限制，比如对认知功能下降的敏感性问题。它通过简单易懂的问题来帮助识别老年人中的抑郁症病例，并评估其严重程度。
The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) is a self-reported questionnaire developed by YeSavage et al. in 1982 specifically for assessing depressive symptoms in elderly individuals. The original intention of GDS design was to overcome some limitations encountered by traditional depression assessment tools when applied to the elderly population, such as sensitivity to cognitive decline. It helps identify depression cases among the elderly and assess their severity through simple and easy to understand questions.
