The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the world’s most widely used postnatal wellbeing screening tool. This free 10-question online version helps new and expecting mothers — and their partners — understand how they have been feeling over the past seven days and whether it might be worth talking to a professional.
Answer 10 short questions about the past 7 days, get your score (0–30) immediately, and see whether your wellbeing suggests it is worth reaching out for support. Takes about 3 minutes. Your responses are private. The EPDS is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
No. The EPDS is a screening tool used by clinicians and researchers worldwide. It can suggest that your wellbeing warrants a clinical conversation, but only a qualified mental health professional can diagnose postpartum depression.
About 3 minutes. You answer 10 short questions about how you have been feeling over the past 7 days.
New and expecting mothers in the perinatal period, as well as partners who want to check in on their own wellbeing after a baby arrives.
A higher score does not mean you have postpartum depression, but it is a strong signal to talk to someone. After your result, you can book a free intro consultation with a Crink perinatal therapist.
