BDI-II
Depression severity across mood, cognition, and somatic symptoms
A richer map makes a clearer plan. Take your time with this one.
What you’ll be measuring
The Beck Depression Inventory II is a longer, more granular alternative to the PHQ-9. Its 21 items cover affective, cognitive, and somatic symptoms — giving a richer picture when nuance matters.
Most people finish in under ten minutes.
“Pick the statement that best describes how you’ve been feeling about the future over the past two weeks.”
Ranges, at a glance
The final score is less important than the pattern it points to — but here’s how clinicians read it.
- 0–13Minimal
- 14–19Mild
- 20–28Moderate
- 29–63Severe
- You’d like a more detailed picture than a shorter screener gives
- You’ve already taken the PHQ-9 and want corroboration
- You want to track change over time at regular clinical visits
The BDI is a measurement tool, not a diagnosis. Any score in the moderate-or-above band deserves a conversation with a clinician.
After the test — here’s what happens
Your score becomes the opening line of a clinical conversation, not an endpoint.
- Consultation
A care coordinator calls (or WhatsApps, your choice). You tell us what’s going on — no forms, no pressure.
- Expert Psychiatrist
We book you with a psychiatrist who is a leading authority in this condition — not a generalist.
- Assessment
If the psychiatrist recommends it, a senior clinical psychologist runs in-depth assessments before we shape the plan.
- Therapy + Medicine
Structured therapy with a senior clinical psychologist when indicated, plus medication adherence support — both coordinated by the same team.
- Ongoing care
Medication reviews, therapy adjustments, and continuity of care — the same team stays with you as things evolve.
Ready when you are.
The test takes about 8 minutes. If anything in the result worries you, we’re one tap away.
