Disability and perceived stress in primary care patients with major depression.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent in the Spanish primary care (PC) setting and the leading cause of disability in Spain. The aim of this study was to evaluate several key psychometric properties of the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) in patients with or without MDD and varying degrees of symptom severity using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).

Method: A total of 1,704 PC patients participating in the PsicAP clinical trial completed the SDS and PHQ-9.
