Abstract
Results of the present study support the good psychometric properties of both DESC forms in patients with mental disorders and somatic diseases. This study confirmed the cut-off scores that had already been determined in former patient samples. Thus, both DESC forms can be used validly as screening instruments for depression in clinical practice.
