Product DescriptionClick here to view product list

The Beck Depression Inventory—Second Edition (BDI–II) is the latest edition of the BDI, one of the most commonly used outcome measures in the world to demonstrate treatment efficacy and monitor treatment progress for depressed patients.

New Items

Just like the BDI, the BDI-II consists of 21 items to assess the intensity of depression in clinical and normal patients. Each item is a list of four statements arranged in increasing severity about a particular symptom of depression. These new items bring the BDI–II into alignment with DSM–IV criteria.

Items on the new scale that explore agitation, worthlessness and concentration difficulty have replaced items that dealt with symptoms of weight loss, changes in body image, and somatic preoccupation. Another item on the BDI that tapped work difficulty was revised to examine loss of energy. Also, sleep loss and appetite loss items were revised to assess both increases and decreases in sleep and appetite.

New Age Range

The BDI-II offers a new age range, extending downward to 13 years of age. The time reference for the response set has changed from one week to two and the BDI-II directions are more consistent with DSM–IV guidelines that require assessing depressive symptoms over the preceding two weeks.

This product is also available to level M users.
