Introduction
Depression test scale - Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) free online test. EPDS is a widely used postpartum depression screening scale, compiled by Cox J in 1987. The scale is mainly used for screening, auxiliary diagnosis and evaluation of postpartum depression. The scale is mainly suitable for pregnant women.
Note: Since the scale is only an auxiliary screening tool, the scale test results are for reference only. The higher the score, the more severe the depression.
| Score | Reference results |
|---|---|
| 0~8 points | Normal |
| 9~12 points | High-risk groups |
| 13~30 points | Possible postpartum depression |
|
Note: The score range is 0~30.
Scores in the range of 0~8 can be considered normal range, without depression. Scores in the range of 9~12 are high-risk groups. If the score is between 13 and 30, there may be postpartum depression. The higher the score, the more severe the depression. Since the scale is only an auxiliary screening tool, the scale test results are for reference only. |
