Abstract

In recent years, the number of university students with depression is increasing, and depressive symptoms have substantial impact on school life. Additionally, the early onset of depression is more likely to relapse and have a chronic course. Therefore, early detection and treatment of depressive symptoms are extremely important. We examined whether there were significant differences in item scores of BDI-II among the degrees of depressive symptoms. Results showed that the total score is significantly higher when the scores of suicidal thoughts, sadness, loss of pleasure, guilty feelings, and loss of energy are high. About one percent of the freshmen reported high scores in these items. Our study suggested importance of paying attention to the items such as suicidal thoughts, sadness, loss of pleasure, guilty feelings, and loss of energy.
