Description


The CDI evaluates the presence and severity of specific depressive symptoms in youth so that you can develop a targeted treatment plan. Parent, teacher, and self-report ratings provide a comprehensive evaluation. The CDI is commonly used in schools, clinics, guidance centres, and medical pediatric settings by psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and mental health professionals.

How to Use the Assessment
