Columbia Depression Scale (DISC) Test

depressionsuicidal risk

In adolescent evaluations, brief screening tools can help identify depressive symptoms and related safety concerns. The Columbia Depression Scale (DISC) is a structured, multi-informant measure intended to support initial detection of depression severity and potential suicidal ideation in youth.

The instrument includes 25 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Ratings may be obtained from the adolescent and, when available, caregivers and school personnel to inform clinical judgment across settings.

The Columbia Depression Scale (DISC), developed by Maria Kovacs, is generally used for screening and monitoring rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic assessment; results should be interpreted in context and followed by appropriate clinical interview and risk assessment when indicated.
