Free online assessment of children's depression scale

This Children’s Depression Scale is a self-evaluation tool specially used to assess depression symptoms in children and adolescents aged 6-23 years old. It was developed by Weissman et al. (1980) and has high reliability and validity. The scale contains 20 self-evaluation entries, involving children’s emotions, behaviors, interpersonal relationships, self-evaluation, etc. The score range is 0-60 points. The higher the score, the higher the level of depression. The authors of the scale recommend that 15 points be used as the demarcation value for depression, that is, the total score is greater than 15 points, indicating that the depressive symptoms are significant. The Children’s Depression Scale is a self-rated questionnaire used to assess whether children and adolescents have symptoms of depression. It consists of 20 questions, each with four options that reflect how you feel and how you have been in the past two weeks. You need to select the option that best matches you and then calculate your total score. The higher the total score, the higher your depression level. If your total score exceeds 15 points, it means you may have depression symptoms and need further evaluation and help.
