Introduction
Depression Test Scale - Children's Depression Self-Rating Scale (DSRSC) Free Online Test. DSRSC was developed by Birleson (1981) based on Feighner's adult depression diagnostic criteria. It can be used for outpatient and inpatient children with depression as an auxiliary means, as a tool to track the efficacy of treatment, and can also be used for preliminary screening of children at risk of depression (such as parents with depression, personality disorders, children's own academic performance decline or physical illness). The scale is suitable for children aged 7 to 13 years old.
Note: The higher the score, the more severe the depression. Since the scale is only an auxiliary screening tool, the scale test results are for reference only.
| Scores | Reference results |
|---|---|
| 0~13 points | May not be depressed |
| 14~36 points | May have depression |
|
Note: The score range is 0~36.
If the score is in the range of 0~13, there may be no depression. If the score is in the range of 14~36, there may be depression. The higher the score, the more severe the depression. Since the scale is only an auxiliary screening tool, the scale test results are for reference only. |
