Validation of the Chinese Version of Oxford Depression Questionnaire

"The Oxford Depression Questionnaire (ODQ)is a patient-centered questionnaire. The scale contains three sections: i) the patient's experience in the past week; ii) the patient's experience before the illness worsened, and iii) the patient's emotional feelings about receiving antidepressant treatment. The 26-item questionnaire contains four dimensions of emotional blunting: not caring (NC), emotional detachment from others (ED), reduction in positive emotions (RP), and general reduction in emotions (GR). Patients not taking antidepressants were only required to rate the first two sections ."
