Summary

Mood disorders are a group of psychiatric disorders that can affect a person's mood, energy, and motivation. Emotional blunting has been observed in clinical practice in patients with mood disorders. Emotional blunting has a negative impact on patients' overall treatment and leads to poorer adherence. The Oxford Depression Questionnaire (ODQ) is a measuring instrument of emotional blunting. The ODQ is expected to be a scientifically valid tool for detecting emotional blunting. The ODQ has high construct validity and internal reliability. However, no scientific validity studies have been conducted on ODQ in Chinese population. Therefore, this study is intended to investigate the reliability and validity of the ODQ in Chinese patients with mood disorders.
