Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a 10-item questionnaire, focuses on psychic symptoms of depression and is designed to reduce the focus on somatic symptoms (ie, poor sleep, weight gain or loss) that are common among women with depression. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale has established psychometric properties and is one of the most widely used self-reported instruments to assess depressive symptoms in postpartum women, including minorities and teenagers. Each question response is coded from 0 to 3, and the maximum total score is 30. The cutoff point used to identify women as high risk for postpartum depression varies, with most studies using a cutoff score of 10 or 12. A cutoff score 10 detects a major depressive disorder with sensitivity of >90% and specificity >80%, and a cutoff score 13 detects a major depressive disorder with sensitivity of >85% and specificity of >80%.
