The **BDI FastScreen for Medical Patients (BDI)** is a brief screening tool specifically designed to identify depressive symptoms in medical patients. It focuses on the cognitive and affective aspects of depression, excluding physical symptoms that may overlap with medical conditions, such as fatigue or sleep disturbances. This tool is commonly used in hospital and outpatient settings to quickly and effectively assess the risk of depression in patients who are dealing with medical issues, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. #Psychological-Test
