Neben diesen Studien, die die prädiktive Bedeutung einer gesicherten, kategorialen Depressionsdiagnose untersucht haben, finden sich weitere empirische Studien, die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Ausmaß an dimensional erfasster Depressivität und dem Therapieerfolg prüfen.
I don't understand the difference between "categorial" and "dimensional," in any language. Nor do I understand the use of the verb "erfassen" here.
Thanks!

dimensional measure of depression
The common juxtaposition is "categorical" versus "dimenisonal" assessment/ measures.
“This article examines the relationship of dexamethasone nonsuppression to both categorical (i.e., diagnostic categories) and dimensional (i.e., quantitative, multivariate) measures of depression in children. Sixty inpatients, ages 5-13 years, were administered the dexamethasone suppression test (DST). Categorical measures were the diagnoses of major depression or dysthymic disorder obtained from semi-structured interviews of child and parent. Dimensional measures of depression were the Short Child Depression Inventory (which is a child's self-report instrument) and the Child Behavior Checklist (which gave parent-rated quantitative scores for depression, aggression, hyperactivity, internalizing behaviors, and externalizing behaviors).

The debate over the relative usefulness of categorical (yes/ no) versus dimensional (continuous scales) assessments for determining mental illness has been running strong for nearly a half century

Cf. this for some insight, (or more confusion, as the case may be:-]), especially chapter 2.1.3:

Highly scholastic (and thus pretty absurd, even useless) if you ask me, but anyway.
