Abstract

Depressive thoughts were commonly reported by a sample of patients attending a south London general practitioner. Their occurrence corresponded more closely with a psychiatrist's than the general practitioner's diagnosis of depression; a 'scale' composed of questions about depressive thinking discriminated well between depressed and non-depressed men, but was a much poorer discriminator in the women.
