The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) is a 21-item self-report questionnaire widely used by psychologists and medical professionals. Each item describes a common symptom of depression—such as sadness, pessimism, or loss of appetite—with four statements ranging from “not present” to “severe.” Scores for each item range from 0 to 3 and summing them gives a total from 0 to 63. Higher scores reflect more pronounced depressive symptoms.
The BDI-II is designed for adults and adolescents aged 13 or older. While it does not provide a formal diagnosis, it offers a standardized way to evaluate mood over the past two weeks and guide further discussion with a mental health professional. Typical cutoffs categorize 0–13 as minimal depression, 14–19 mild, 20–28 moderate, and 29–63 severe.
