Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)

Instructions: The Beck Depression Inventory was designed by American psychologist Aaron T. Beck. It contains 21 groups, each with 4 statements. Each statement is assigned a score based on your feelings over the past week. Choose the statement that best describes your situation. After completing all 21 groups, you will be able to understand clearly whether you are depressed and the extent of your depression based on your total score. Although this inventory is simple, if you answer truthfully, the results will still be quite reliable and accurate.

* The Beck Depression Inventory can only indicate whether there is depression and its severity, but to determine the specific type of depression, whether it is primary or secondary, a psychologist should conduct a further examination.
