Disclaimer: This website implements the postnatal depression flowchart at Anthem.com (pdf), which includes the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. It describes recommended actions dependent upon the outcome of the associated questionnaire and other clinical opinion.
The website was created as a student assignment and should not be interpreted as medical advice.

This site is designed to assist medical professionals in the use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale EPDS). To do this, its workflow follows that of the Anthem EPDS Care Pathway, providing information and advice to clinicians at appropriate points and also providing an on-line version of the EPDS questionnaire.

The on-line questionnaire may be completed during care meetings between clinicians and the mothers under their care, or by mothers independently at home.

To ensure clarity over which pages should be used by the clinician and which by the patient, pages appropriate for the professional have a blue background and pages appropriate for the patient have a green background.
