 Abstract

These instructions give you guidelines Many people are living with hidden signs of depression because of either the lack of aware-ness that they have the condition or their intentional effort to hide the condition from others. Sound knowledge and understanding of the key signs of hidden depression both by members of the general public and clinicians are critical for ensuring the timely and reliable diagnosis and treatment of the condition. This paper is a critical discussion of the 10 signs of hidden depression, the dangers of depression and the need for future re-search. From the review of current literature, it is clear that depression is a leading cause of disability, and that diagnosis of hidden depression, in particular, is a complex, challenging process for health practitioners in practice. This is not just due to the hidden nature of the condition, but more in the evident lack of conclusive research on the 'how-to' aspects of the process of diagnosing and treating hidden depression in individuals. Ac-cordingly, the need for future research is recommended, with the view to secure a comprehensive set of guidelines and/or best practices for diag-nosis and treatment of hidden depression.

Symptomatic adolescents were asked to stop benzodiazepines for 24 hour prior to testing. MINI KID 7.2.0, C-YBOCS, MCQ-C, and TCQ-CA were administered. Results: The study group scored more on negative belief about worry, SPR, cognitive monitoring, worry, punishment, and re-appraisal. The symptom severity was found to be significantly correlated to negative belief about worry(0.49, p<0.05), SPR (0.45, p<0.05), over all metacognitive beliefs(0.58, p<0.01), and worry (0.48, p<0.05).

This paper describes the validation of an instrument for blended learning assessment. This instrument is urgently developed because of the extent of the blended learning application in universities. The validation of the instrument of blended learning assessment is carried out with two methods that are validation through validator and validation through trials to the students. The validator provides an assessment through the process of judgment validity, including a substantive assessment and display to two validators. The assessment result of the validator shows that the model is valid with a slight revision. Meanwhile, the trials for students are conducted by taking into account 20 students with 96% of the valid group questions. It can be concluded that the instrument models used to assist the three learning domains are valid and applicable.
