Method: Depression and related problems were studied in a sample of 283 university students. Results: The students with high depression scores also had high scores on anxiety, intrusive thoughts, controlling intrusive thoughts and sleep disturbances scales. A stepwise regression suggested that those problems contributed to a significant proportion of the variance (49%) on the depression scores. Conclusion: The two subscales of the depression scale that were most highly correlated with these variables were the depressed affect and the vegetative symptoms subscales. (Contains 5 tables.)
