Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)

The questionnaire below was designed to help identify possible symptoms of postpartum depression and other mood and anxiety disorders for pregnant and perinatal mothers. It does not diagnose illnesses, but rather helps us assess a snapshot of your mental health so that we can best support you in your motherhood.

Answering These Questions

We would like to know how you have been feeling lately. For each statement below, please choose the one that best describes the LAST WEEK for you, not just today.


We will not share this information with anyone outside of Mother-Wise without your written consent.
