The Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ) (Angold et al., 1987) is a 34-item scale designed to measure childhood and adolescent depression, which encompasses affective, cognitive, vegetative, and suicidality. Different versions of the scale have been created which include a subset of the original 34 items.
