What this measures
The BDI is one of the most studied self-report depression inventories. Each item asks you to pick the statement that best fits how you've been feeling. Item 9 asks about thoughts of self-harm - please answer honestly.
Before you start
- · Find a quiet few minutes - answer honestly, not how you wish you felt.
- · There are no right or wrong answers. Pick what feels closest.
- · This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
- · If anything brings up something heavy, support is at the end.
