What are the Common Symptoms Assessed by BDI in Cancer Patients?
The BDI evaluates a range of depressive symptoms such as sadness, pessimism, a sense of failure, dissatisfaction, guilt, punishment feelings, self-dislike, suicidal thoughts, crying, irritability, social withdrawal, indecisiveness, changes in sleep pattern, fatigue, and changes in appetite. These symptoms can often overlap with physical symptoms of cancer or its treatment, making it essential to differentiate between the two.
