The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was designed by the authors as a simple means of screening for postnatal depression in health care settings. It can also be used by researchers investigating the factors that influence the emotional well-being of new mothers and their families. This text guides health professionals and researchers through the practical uses of the EPDS and explores cross-cultural issues, background information on postnatal depression and implications for health service management.
