Scoring & interpretation
Each item is scored from 0 to 2 (0 = absence of the symptom, 1 = symptom moderately present, 2 = symptom severely present). The total score ranges from 0 to 56. The higher the score, the greater the severity of depressive symptoms. Clinical cutoffs guide interpretation for screening, diagnostic confirmation, and monitoring.
