Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Beck Depression Inventory	8 weeks	The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) 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.
WHOQOL-BREFF	8 weeks	Each individual item of the WHOQOL-BREF is scored from 1 to 5 on a response scale, which is stipulated as a five-point ordinal scale. The scores are then transformed linearly to a 0-100-scale (16, 17). The physical health domain includes items on mobility, daily activities, functional capacity, energy, pain, and sleep.
