How is the depression scale scored for children?

CDI T-scores of 65 or above identify potentially clinically depressed individuals. Lower cut-off values may be more appropriate for situations where an atypically high incidence of depression is expected. The T-score = 65 cutoff should be used as a guideline and not an absolute rule.

How do you score the childrens depression inventory?

The sum of all 20 items is calculated and represents the severity of depressive symptoms as determined by the child/adolescent. Total scale scores range from 0-60. A higher score reflects a greater degree of depression symptoms. A score of 15 or higher indicates a risk for depression in children and adolescents.
