The Beck Depression Inventory-II is a 21-item self-report instrument designed to assess the presence and severity of depressive symptoms in adolescents and adults. Originally published by Aaron T. Beck in 1961 and revised significantly in 1996, the BDI-II is one of the most widely used depression assessment tools in clinical psychology and psychiatry. It is copyrighted and distributed by Pearson Assessments, and measures both cognitive and somatic symptoms of depression across a two-week timeframe.
