DEPRESSION
Depression (also known as Major Depressive Disorder) is a common but serious mental health condition that profoundly affects a person’s feelings, thoughts, and actions. It’s more than just feeling “sad” or “blue” for a day or two.
What it Is
At its core, depression is characterized by a persistent, deep feeling of sadness and/or a significant loss of interest or pleasure in almost all daily activities (like hobbies, socializing, or work).
How it Affects a Person
For a person to be experiencing depression, these feelings must last for a minimum of two weeks and significantly interfere with their daily life. Other common signs and symptoms often experienced include:
- Changes in energy and sleep: Feeling extremely tired (fatigue) or having trouble sleeping (insomnia) or sleeping too much (hypersomnia).
- Changes in appetite: Significant weight loss or gain.
- Difficulty concentrating: Trouble making decisions, focusing, or remembering things.
- Negative self-talk: Feeling worthless or overly guilty.
- Physical changes: Feeling restless or slowed down to an extent noticeable by others.
- Thoughts of death or suicide.

Interview, Mail-Out (participant only)
Details
Interviewers should read the following introduction prior to administering the PHQ: “Over the LAST 2 WEEKS, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?”
If either of the first 2 questions are coded either ‘1 - Several Days’, ‘2 - More Than Half Of The Days’, or ‘3 - Nearly Every Day’, then proceed to ask the remaining PHQ items.
If both of the first 2 questions are coded ‘0 - Not at all’, code remaining PHQ items as ‘81 - Not Applicable’ and skip to next section of interview.
The PHQ should not be administered to a significant other, or any other proxy. If the individual is unable to provide data, use code ‘82. Not Applicable: No data from person with TBI’.
Every effort should be made to obtain the PHQ assessments, however, if any items can not be assessed, use code ‘99. Unknown’. Do not leave blanks.
