WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Questionnaire for Neurotic Disorders, NND-Ci Test

Neurotic Disorders Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

depression

phobias

obsessiveness

neuronalization

Clinicians may use the Neurotic Disorders Questionnaire as a self-report inventory to quantify the presence and severity of neurotic symptom patterns and related distress. It is intended to support clinical formulation and monitoring when neurotic symptoms are a focus of assessment. The instrument includes 138 items and typically takes about 26 minutes to complete.

Responses can be summarized to provide an estimate of symptom burden that may be integrated with interview data, behavioral observations, and other measures. In practice, the Neurotic Disorders Questionnaire may be used to track change over time and to inform treatment planning, while interpretation should remain contextual and consistent with the individual’s clinical presentation.
