Dundee Depression Scale

The Dundee Depression Scale is a questionnaire designed to measure the severity of depressive symptoms in individuals. It asks about various aspects of mood, energy, sleep, and daily functioning to gather a comprehensive picture of how depression may be affecting someone. By analyzing responses, healthcare providers can assess the intensity of depression, monitor changes over time, and determine appropriate treatment options. The scale is a useful tool in both clinical and research settings, providing standardized, objective information to support mental health assessment and care planning.
