How many items are included in the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)?

The correct answer is: 22

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a widely used self-report tool designed to assess the presence and severity of depressive symptoms in individuals. The BDI consists of 22 items that cover various symptoms and attitudes associated with depression. Each item reflects a specific symptom or condition related to depression, and respondents select the statement that best aligns with their feelings over the past two weeks. This comprehensive range of items allows for a nuanced understanding of the individual's emotional state and aids in both clinical assessments and research related to depressive disorders. The other options do not accurately represent the total number of items in the BDI. Understanding the specific structure of the BDI is essential for practitioners in mental health, as it informs how they gauge symptom severity and monitor treatment outcomes effectively.
