✦ Synopsis


The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) was developed as a screening instrument for use in medical patients. The depression subscale has been validated as a measure of severity in elderly depressed psychiatric inpatients. This study assessed its usefulness as a screening instrument in inpatients in a geriatric medical unit. One hundred geriatric inpatients were evaluated using the Geriatric Mental State (Community Version) to identify cases. The HAD lacked sensitivity and specificity in this situation. KEY woms-Anxiety, depression, screening, hospital anxiety and depression scale, geriatric mental state.
