The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a 10-item questionnaire that was developed to identify women who have PPD.[1] Items of the scale correspond to various clinical depression symptoms, such as guilt feeling, sleep disturbance, low energy, anhedonia, and suicidal ideation. Overall assessment is done by total score, which is determined by adding together the scores for each of the 10 items. The EPDS may be used within 8 weeks postpartum and it also can be applied for depression screening during pregnancy.[2]
The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is a widely used depression screening tool, which has been adapted and validated in many languages.[3][4][5]
