| Annotation | The EURODEP collaboration was formed to take advantage of existing studies of depression in random community samples of older people in Europe, using GMS-AGECAT for case identification and diagnosis. Later, other centres joined, and the EURO-D scale was developed to harmonise the different methods used with the GMS. Previous studies had revealed different levels of depression in Europe, but had been confounded by the use of irreconcilable methods. These studies attempt to overcome this problem, and are published as five papers in this issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry. (RH). |
