TL;DR
The validity of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) as a screening and diagnostic scale for depression in Parkinson's disease (PD) is evaluated.
Abstract
A single cut-off score on the BDI to distinguish nondepressed from depressed patients with PD is not feasible. If one accepts the low specificity, then the BDI can be used as a valid screening instrument for depression in PD with a cut-off of 8/9. With a cut-off score of 16/17, it can be used as a diagnostic scale, at the cost of a low sensitivity. The use of diagnostic criteria for depression remains necessary.

A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

This study shows that it is justified to use the HAMD‐17 and the MADRS to measure depressive symptoms in both non‐ Depressed and depressed PD patients, to diagnose depressive disorder in PD, and to dichotomize patient samples into depressed and non‐depressed groups.

Depression exacerbates some memory and language impairments associated with Parkinson's disease, even when the PDN and PDD groups are matched for demographic and disease variables, and when the groups are also matched also for overall severity of cognitive impairment.

It is suggested that sertraline may be a useful treatment for depression in PD and as substantial placebo effects can occur in studies of PD and depression, double‐blind studies are warranted.
