The Cognitive Assessment for Depression Patients (CAB-DP) from CogniFit is a professional test that uses clinical questions and tasks to quickly and accurately detect the presence of symptoms and altered cognitive processes affected by depression, which is one of the most common mood disorders.
This innovative and reliable depression test is a resource that makes it possible to take a complete cognitive screening and understand the user's cognitive strengths and weaknesses, as well as detect their risk index for depression. This psychometric test is designed for user's 16 and older, adults, and seniors that are at risk for depression.
The cognitive assessment will automatically generate a detailed cognitive report. The depression test usually takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
A depression diagnosis requires a multi-disciplinary and exhaustive differential diagnosis in order to discard symptomology that may be better described by another mood disorder or disease.
Clinical consultations, questionnaires, and clinical evaluation scales are the most effective tools to diagnose depression, but they may not be enough to determine its degree. In order to better understand the severity of the alteration, an exhaustive assessment of mood disorders is necessary. Note that CogniFit does not directly offer a medical diagnosis for depression. We recommend using this online depression test to complement a professional diagnosis, and never as a replacement for a clinical consultation.
Phases of this Depression Test (CAB-DP)
Phases of this Depression Test (CAB-DP)
This Cognitive Assessment Battery for Depression is made up of a questionnaire and a series of neuropsychological tests. It takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
Adolecents or adults at risk for depression can answer the questionnaire which will evaluate the clinical symptoms related to this disorder. After the questionnaire, a series of exercises and cognitive tasks will be presented as simple computer games.
Well-being Questionnaire
A series of simple questions to detect the main diagnostic criteria for depression (DSM-V) will appear on the screen. This questionnaire is an evaluation instrument adapted for depression.
Neuropsychological factors and cognitive profile
The CAB-DP will continue with a battery of tasks directed at evaluating the main neuropsychological factors identified in the scientific literature for this mood disorder. The results will be compared to other users of the same age and gender.
Complete results report
After completing the assessment to detect depression, CogniFit will generate a detailed report, where the user's risk index of having depression (low-moderate-high) will be presented and will allow you to understand the user's warning signs, cognitive profile, analysis of results, and recommendations. The results offer valuable information in order to allow you to identify the appropriate support strategies.
Psychometric Results
Psychometric Results
The Cognitive Assessment for Depression Patients (CAB-DP) from CogniFit uses patented algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze thousands of variables and inform you of any risk for depression, with very satisfactory psychometric results.
The neuropsychological cognitive profile has a high reliability, consistency, and stability. Transversal research designs, like the Chronbach Alpha coefficient, have been followed, reaching scores of about 0.9. The Test-Retest tests have receives scores of close to 1.0, showing the high level of reliability and accuracy.

Who should use this depression test?
Who should use this depression test?
With this cognitive assessment, it's possible to reliably detect the symptoms and cognitive deterioration related to depression in adults and seniors.
An early detection can allow you to implement the appropriate intervention program and avoid further deterioration.
Without an early detection, someone with depression may notice that the mood disorder affects their daily life, affecting social or professional relationships.
Depression may cause generalized deterioration in academic, social, professional, and personal areas. It can be mainly divided into:
Emotional symptoms
Sadness, lack of interest, or hopelessness are some of the main emotional symptoms in depressive disorders. Dopamine and serotonin are the main neurotransmitters responsible for regulating emotional state. Different studies have shown that a reduced dopaminergic and serotonergic activity may be related to depression, causing depressive symptoms like sadness or apathy.
Physical symptoms
Depressive disorders are related to a chemical imbalance of neurotransmitters. Some physical sensations may manifest during depression, like fatigue, headache, muscle pain, loss of appetite, or sleep problems. If you detect any of these problems, you may want to take the depression test (CAB-DP).
Cognitive symptoms
Depression is related to a series of cognitive deficits that, apart from negatively affecting the person's daily life, contributes to a magnified or prolonged duration of this mood disorder. Scientific literature consistently shows that people with depression have more trouble with attention and shifting, along with other abilities.
Associated symptoms
A series of associated symptoms, like irritability, crying, substance abuse, or weight changes are common in depressive disorders. These associated symptoms are important in detecting depression, and are related to some of the symptoms that we mentioned before.

Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Description of the diagnostic criteria questionnaire
Depression is characterized by a series of clinical signs and symptoms. These indicators can help you understand whether or not someone may have this mood disorder. This is why the first step of the depression assessment is a questionnaire to detect the main diagnostic criteria and symptoms of depression for each age range.
The questions presented in the questionnaire are similar to those that may be found in a diagnostic manual, clinical questionnaire, or scales for depression. However, they have been simplified in order to be easily understood by almost any user.
Made of a series of easy-to-answer questions that should be completed by the professional in charge or by the person taking the assessment. The questionnaire collects information from the following areas: Emotional symptoms (sadness, guilt, hopelessness, etc.), Physical symptoms (fatigue, muscle pain, sleep problems, etc.), and Associated symptoms (irritability, weight change, substance abuse, etc.).
