        ## [Beck Depression Inventory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_Depression_Inventory)
        The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, BDI-1A, BDI-II), created by Aaron T. Beck,
        is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory, one of the most widely
        used psychometric tests for measuring the severity of depression. Its
        development marked a shift among mental health professionals, who had
        until then, viewed depression from a psychodynamic perspective, instead of it
        being rooted in the patient's own thoughts.
        
        ## [Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_anxiety_disorder)
        Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by
        excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry, that is, apprehensive
        expectation about events or activities. This excessive worry often interferes
        with daily functioning, as individuals with GAD typically anticipate disaster,
         and are overly concerned about everyday matters such as health issues, money,
         death, family problems, friendship problems, interpersonal relationship problems,
         or work difficulties.
        
        ## [Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Anxiety_Disorder_7)
        Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) is a self-reported questionnaire for
        screening and severity measuring of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
        GAD-7 has seven items, which measure severity of various signs of GAD according
        to reported response categories with assigned points (see below). Assessment is
        indicated by the total score, which made up by adding together the scores for
        the scale all seven items.
        
        ## [Patient Health Questionnaire 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Health_Questionnaire#2-item_depression_screener)
        The Patient Health Questionnaire 2 item (PHQ-2) is an ultra-brief screening
        instrument containing the first two questions from the PHQ-9. Two screening
        questions to assess the presence of a depressed mood and a loss of interest
        or pleasure in routine activities, and a positive response to either question
        indicates further testing is required. This version of the PHQ has been shown
        to have good diagnostic sensitivity but poor specificity.
        
        
        ## [Patient Health Questionnaire 7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHQ-9)
        The PHQ-9 is a 9-question instrument given to patients in a primary care
        setting to screen for the presence and severity of depression. It is the
        9-question depression scale from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ).
        The results of the PHQ-9 may be used to make a depression diagnosis according
        to DSM-IV criteria and takes less than 3 minutes to complete. The total of all
         9 responses from the PHQ-9 aims to predict the presence and severity of
         depression. Primary care providers frequently use the PHQ-9 to screen for
         depression in patients.
        
        ## [Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenberg_self-esteem_scale)
        The Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES), developed by sociologist Dr. Morris
        Rosenberg, is a self-esteem measure widely used in social-science research.
        It uses a scale of 0-30 where a score less than 15 may indicate a problematic
        low self esteem.
