title: Depression: symptoms versus diagnosis in 10,412 hospitalized children and adolescents (1957-1977).
abstract: This study explores the relationship between both classical and "masked" symptoms of depression with the discharge diagnosis of depression. The sample consisted of 10.412 impatient admissions to a child and adolescent psychiatric municipal hospital. The results indicate that "masked" symptoms are not associated with a diagnosis of depression.
