The extent of the similarities and discrepancies in the reporting of depressive symptomatology by children and their mothers was examined. Child-parent agreement was not always impressive, particularly for more subjective symptoms. It is suggested that direct psychiatric assessment of children provides a more accurate picture of their mental state regardless of presenting disorder, but particularly where depression is suspected.
研究了儿童及其母亲在报告抑郁症状方面的相似程度和差异。儿童与父母之间的一致性并不总是令人印象深刻，尤其是对于更主观的症状。研究表明，无论呈现何种障碍，对儿童进行直接的精神病学评估都能更准确地反映他们的精神状态，特别是在怀疑患有抑郁症的情况下。
