Psychic symptoms of depression

The Multidimensional Self-Questionnaire for Depression Assessment DD4 (Ducher's Depression Scale) is presented in the form of four modules. Each module consists of 15 identical questions (I feel sad, I suffer morally...). The formulation of the questions allows for evaluation from 0 to 4 in different dimensions: DD4 A: Global Evaluation (not at all true, a little true, rather true, very true, completely true) DD4 F: Frequency Evaluation (never, sometimes, often, very often, permanently) DD4 I: Intensity Evaluation (not at all, slightly, fairly, a lot, enormously) DD4 M: Maximal Evaluation (uses the criteria of the global evaluation, but during the moments when the patient feels the saddest or most depressed). An additional question asks about the frequency of these periods (never, sometimes, often, very often, permanently).
