Perinatal Mood Screen (EPDS-informed)
Screening template for pregnancy & postpartum
The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is the most-used perinatal mood screen worldwide. It's a screen — not a diagnosis — and applies during pregnancy and postpartum. Speak with your clinician about any score of 10+, or any endorsement of item 10.

What I want my clinician to know
PMADs are common and treatable
1 in 5 birthing people experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. Treatment works. Screening is not a judgment — it's care.
