Translation and Cultural Adaptation of the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) Into Urdu

Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) is a self-report scale designed to measure the presence and intensity of dysfunctional attitudes. It is widely used to assess impaired cognitive patterns associated with depression and other mental health conditions. Initially developed in English, its usefulness can be extended by translating and culturally adapting it into Urdu language.
