The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a self-report 10-item questionnaire that was developed to identify women who have post-partum depression (PPD). Generally, the EPDS (83) is used as the gold standard to determine the presence of PPD, and it has been used antenatally to identify women at risk for PPD. The measure takes ~5 min to complete.
