The questions do not officially determine or diagnose a student/person with depression. They are used as a guide. Some ways to help guide these symptoms/numbers are: 

 

  • Meets criteria for Major depressive episode: Anhedonia or dysphoria nearly every day for the past two weeks, plus symptoms in an additional 4 DSM symptom groups noted as occurring nearly every day for the past two weeks. 
  • Probable major depressive episode: Anhedonia or dysphoria nearly every day for the past two weeks, plus symptoms in an additional 3 DSM symptom groups reported as occurring either nearly every day for the past two weeks, or 5-7 days in the past week; 
  • Possible major depressive episode: Anhedonia or dysphoria nearly every day for the past two weeks, plus symptoms in an additional 2 other DSM symptom groups reported as occurring either nearly every day for the past two weeks, or 5-7 days in the past week. 
  • Subthreshold depression symptoms: People who have a CESD-style score of at least 16 but do not meet above criteria. 
  • No clinical significance: People who have a total CESD-style score less than 16 across all 20 questions. 

 

During 2020-2021, We R H.O.P.E. served 48 students in total that received two CESD-R surveys.
