Result Calculation
Your Result:
Minimal Depression
Minimal depression, as indicated by a Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score of 0-9, suggests that the individual is currently experiencing very few, if any, depressive symptoms. Their mood is generally positive, and they are likely functioning well in daily life without significant disruptions. While occasional feelings of sadness or mild stress may be present, they are not pervasive or impairing the individual's overall well-being.
Your Result:
Mild depression
A BDI score of 10-18 suggests mild depression, where individuals may be experiencing a noticeable increase in depressive symptoms. While they may still be able to manage their daily activities, there is a sense of persistent low mood, reduced interest in activities, and possibly feelings of hopelessness. Mild depression may impact daily functioning and well-being, but individuals can often benefit from support and intervention to prevent further escalation.
Your Result:
Moderate Depression
Moderate depression, reflected by a BDI score of 19-29, signifies a significant increase in depressive symptoms that are likely affecting various aspects of daily life. Individuals may find it challenging to maintain normal routines, experience a decline in productivity, and have difficulty deriving pleasure from usual activities. Moderate depression often requires professional intervention, such as therapy or medication, to alleviate symptoms and support the individual in their recovery.
Your Result:
Severe Depression
Severe depression, indicated by a BDI score of 30-63, represents a high level of distress and impairment in daily functioning. Individuals with severe depression often struggle to perform routine tasks, may isolate themselves socially, and might experience intense feelings of despair. Urgent professional intervention is typically necessary, including therapy, medication, or hospitalization, to address the severity of symptoms and ensure the individual's safety and well-being.
