Depression

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is one of the most effective ways to detect the presence of depression and its stage. We recommend regularly taking this test and using its results as a guide in the treatment process.

Although simple to administer, the BDI test is reliable. Those who learn to use it have the ability to diagnose depression. A large number of studies over the past decades have shown that the BDI and similar tests are highly effective in identifying disorders.
