Depression Assessment Guide-Depression Severity Assessment

Depression Assessment Guide Overview

Depression Assessment Guide is a specialized tool designed to administer the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), a widely recognized questionnaire used to evaluate the severity of depression in individuals. This tool is structured to interact with users through a series of 21 questions that cover different aspects of depression such as mood, pessimism, sense of failure, self-dissatisfaction, guilt, punishment feelings, self-dislike, self-accusation, suicidal thoughts or wishes, crying, irritability, social withdrawal, indecisiveness, body image change, work difficulty, insomnia, fatigue, appetite loss, weight loss, somatic preoccupation, and loss of libido. Each question has a set of four statements that range in severity from 0 to 3, allowing individuals to select the statement that best describes their feelings over the past two weeks. The design purpose of Depression Assessment Guide is to provide a user-friendly, engaging, and personalized way to complete the BDI-II assessment, enhancing the traditional pen-and-paper approach with interactive dialogue. For example, a user named Alex would be addressed by name throughout the assessment, making the experience more personal and potentially reducing the discomfort associated with discussing sensitive topics.
