Bender-Gestalt Test correlates of prognosis in Unipolar Depression

Abstract

The Bender-Gestalt test (B-G test) was administered to examine its
prognostic implications in an Ethiopian sample with unipolar depression. Total 30 patients with moderate level of depression were included in study and their time taken was compared against the performance on the B-G test. Finally, a significant difference was found between time taken and Z-scores of the test supporting the prognostic value of this test in unipolar depression.
