 The aim of this study was to investigate the current characteristics of depressive patients who underwent advanced medical technology diagnostic procedures with near-infrared spectroscopy to assist the determination of psychiatric diagnoses. A total of 261 outpatients of Kinki University Hospital were included in the study. Depressive symptoms were assessed with clinician-rated (Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression 17-item version, HAM-D17) and self-rated (Beck's Depression Inventory-Ⅱ, BDI-Ⅱ) measures. In addition, the levels of social functioning, quality of life (QOL), and hopelessness were evaluated with the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), the Medical Outcomes Study Short-form 36, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale, respectively. In total, 72% of the patients exhibited a mild depressive state, and 34.5% of those with affective disorders showed a discrepancy between the subjective and objective severities of their depressive symptoms. Patients with these discrepancies had significantly lower GAF scores and QOL subscores and higher hopelessness scores than those without the discrepancy. While the hopelessness scores in patients without the discrepancy were positively correlated with both the HAM-D17 total scores and the BDI-Ⅱ scores, the hopelessness scores in patients with the discrepancy were not correlated with either score. These results indicated that a clinician should assess both the subjective severity and objective severity of depressive symptoms.
