INF Beck Depression Inventory ?
Q.I was participating in a clinical trial for PegIntron and riba my second round of tx. Each month when I visited the doc, I had to fill out a questioneer meant to determine my level of depression, or lack of, which was charted on a graph. I wonder if it's the same one you're referring to here?
A.I posted this because I often wondered what accumulation of charactersistics determine whether a person is really Clinically depressd or not. I am not, by the way I was participating in a clinical trial for PegIntron and riba my second round of tx. Each month when I visited the doc, I had to fill out a questioneer meant to determine my level of depression, or lack of, which was charted on a graph. I wonder if it's the same one you're referring to here? My practitioner and I joked that I wasn't near as much depressed as I was crazy, especially after being arrested for a minor bout of riba rage. I think that's why Dez, and I hit it off so well. We were able to relate to each other's drug induced madness. For those that don't know, Dez took the Houston police force on a high speed chase on his Harley til he pulled it over and broke a cop's nose. Before Dez passed away, he befriended that very same cop who was subsequently diagnosed with hepc. Not sure how I arrived at this wigbubble, but I gotta say I miss Dez's sharp wit and profound observations. That's a new one on me Elmo. I remember him assaulting the cop but I never knew the cop had hep-c too. I remember that story and sure miss Dez and his post's. He was a great person and was smart. Ah the "happy sheet". I did one with every visit also. The clinic I went too watched depression levels real close.
