RESULTS: A total of 75.4% of 399 patients with a register diagnosis of a single depressive episode also got this diagnosis according to the SCAN interview (82.8% for severe type of a single depression, 76.0% for moderate type of a single depression and 65.2% for mild type of a single depression).

The validity of the diagnosis is highest for severe and moderate type of depression and decreases for mild depression.",
