Abstract
The prevalence of depressive disorder in HFS was 16.7%, with younger women at greater risk. The severity of HFS was positively correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms. The BDI can be a complimentary screening and/or diagnostic instrument for depressive disorder in HFS. Early diagnosis of at-risk patients will prevent unnecessary morbidity and mortality.
