The Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (KADS) is a self-report tool designed to diagnose and assess the severity of depression in adolescents. It includes various versions, with the KADS-6 being a concise 6-item scale that evaluates symptoms such as low mood, feelings of worthlessness, fatigue, lack of pleasure, anxiety, and thoughts of self-harm. Scoring ranges from 0 to 18, with scores above 6 indicating possible depression requiring further assessment. The KADS has demonstrated strong diagnostic validity compared to other instruments like the Beck Depression Inventory.
