self-report questionnaire assessing depression severity
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a widely used self-report questionnaire designed to assess the severity of depression in individuals. It consists of 21 multiple-choice questions that cover various symptoms and attitudes related to depression, such as mood, pessimism, and physical symptoms. The BDI is often used by clinicians and researchers to monitor treatment progress and to screen for depression in both clinical and non-clinical settings.
