Start the testWhat the quiz is about "The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale":
What is the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)?
It’s one of the most widely used questionnaires in the world for assessing how new mothers are feeling emotionally after giving birth. It helps identify possible signs of postnatal depression and heightened anxiety.
When should I take this test?
It’s most commonly used during the first weeks and months after giving birth. That said, it can be useful at any point if a new mum notices persistent sadness, exhaustion, anxiety, or a loss of interest in things she used to enjoy.
How is postnatal depression different from the baby blues?
The baby blues typically last a few days to a couple of weeks after birth and show up as mood swings, tearfulness, and tiredness. Postnatal depression involves more intense and longer-lasting symptoms that can significantly affect everyday life.
What should I do if my score is high?
A high score doesn’t automatically mean you have postnatal depression, but it is a good reason to pay closer attention to how you’re feeling. It’s worth talking things through with a doctor, psychologist, or someone you trust — and seeking professional support if you need it.
