Geriatric Depression Scale Gds Calculator
The Geriatric Depression Scale short form asks 15 yes/no questions about the past week. Each answer matching the scale's depressive direction earns one point. A total above 5 suggests depression and calls for a follow-up interview; above 10 is almost always depression. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
