SP - 316 EP - 318 VL - 12 IS - 4 N2 - Interviews of 70 healthy inner city adolescents attending an adolescent medicine clinic, using the Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents (DICA), revealed that 13% met criteria for current major depressive disorder. Lifetime diagnoses of major depression were found in 30% of the subjects, with many describing recurrent episodes and chronic residual symptoms.
