    INTERPRETING THE BECK DEPRESSION INVENTORY

    Now that you have completed the questionnaire, add up the score for each of the twenty-
    one questions by counting the number to the right of each question you marked. The
    highest possible total for the whole test would be sixty-three. This would mean you circled
    number three on all twenty-one questions. Since the lowest possible score for each
    question is zero, the lowest possible score for the test would be zero. This would mean you
    circles zero on each question. You can evaluate your depression according to the Table
    below.

    Total Score______________ Levels of Depression

    1-10____________________These ups and downs are considered normal


    11-16____________________Mild mood disturbance
    17-20____________________Borderline clinical depression
    21-30____________________Moderate depression
    31-40____________________Severe depression
    Over 40__________________Extreme depression
