There was less agreement of the common prodromes of depression reported in Lam and Wong’s (1997), molnar et al.’s(1998) and Smith and tarrier’s (1992) studies. Table 2 summarises the most common depression prodromes across studies. The list of depression prodromes was more diverse with a lower proportionof subjects endorsing the individual symptoms. Subjects also reported fewer depression prodromes and there seemed to be diversity in the reports of prodromal signs and symptoms of depression. The four most common prodromes reported were loss of interest in activities or people, not able to put worries or anxieties aside, interrupted sleep, feeling sad or wanting to cry.
