Postpartum Depression (10-item EPDS)

This questionnaire is only for women who have recently had a baby (within the past year), or for women who are pregnant.

It is designed to rapidly see if a new mother (within the past year), or an expecting mother, is having problems with depression.

As you are pregnant or have recently had a baby, we would like to know how you are feeling.

Please check the answer that comes closest to how you have felt IN THE PAST 7 DAYS, not just how you feel today:
