What This Test Measures
About the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)
This assessment asks about your experiences over the past 2 weeks. Each question is scored on a scale, and the total helps indicate the level of symptoms you may be experiencing.
How Scoring Works
- Low Risk (0-8 points)
- Possible Depression (9-12 points)
- Probable Depression (13-30 points)
Important Notice
This screening is based on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), developed by Cox, Holden, and Sagovsky. It is designed for use during pregnancy and the first year postpartum. If you answered anything other than 'never' to question 10 (thoughts of self-harm), please contact your healthcare provider or call 988 immediately. This is a screening tool only — only a licensed professional can diagnose perinatal mood disorders.
