By testing these 20 questions, patients were asked and understood how they felt about the above issues in the last six months, and which of the four types of issues they belonged to: constantly, often, sometimes, none or occasionally, and each question yielded a corresponding score, and finally the total scores were added up. If the total score is greater than 40, depression is present.
