The Chinese version of the MADRS [15, 16] has been translated from the original English version. It consists of 10 items rated on a 0–6 continuum (0 = no abnormality, 6 = severe) to assess the core symptoms of depression. Inter-rater reliability on the Chinese MADRS with different pairs of raters has been reported to be 0.954; reliability, validity, and sensitivity have been demonstrated to be good [17].

The Chinese version of the HAMD-17 has been translated from the original English version. It consists of 17 items that are rated to assess the symptoms of depression. The Chinese HAMD-17 Cronbach’s alpha coefficients are calculated to be over 0.70, and internal consistency and validity have been demonstrated to be good [18].

The Chinese SDS measures impairment in work/school, social life, and family life responsibilities. The Chinese version of the SDS has been reported to have good validity and reliability [19].
