About This Assessment

Depression Symptom and Severity Questionnaire Test
This measure is designed to support structured evaluation of depressive symptoms and their severity. The Depression Symptom and Severity Questionnaire is intended to help characterize the presence and relative intensity of common depressive features for clinical documentation and treatment planning. It is attributed to Aaron T. Beck.
The questionnaire consists of 72 items and typically requires about 14 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted as a symptom profile and severity estimate rather than as a standalone diagnostic determination, and may be used for baseline assessment and follow-up monitoring. In practice, the Depression Symptom and Severity Questionnaire can be administered alongside clinical interview and other assessment data to inform case formulation and track change over time.
