EDINBURGH POSTNATAL DEPRESSION SCALE (EPDS)

Please, answer all the scale items listed below, and choose the responses that come the closest to how you have felt the past 7 days, not just how you feel today.

The EPDS is only a screening test and does not diagnose postpartum depression. If you get high scores on the scale, it indicates a need for more thorough evaluation that must be done by appropriately licensed health care personnel.
