Postpartum depression (PND) is a very common complication of childbearing. This 10-question self-rating scale has been proven to be an effective way of identifying individuals at risk for PND.

Since you are either pregnant or have recently had a baby, we want to know how you feel. Please select the answer that comes closest to how you have felt IN THE PAST 7 DAYS- not just how you feel today.

Complete all 10 items. This is a screening test; not a medical diagnosis. If something doesn't seem right, please speak to a professional regardless of your score.
