Understanding your EPDS result
Postnatal mood is explored with 10 questions, using the same questionnaire and scoring as the app. Answer based on how you felt over the whole of the past seven days, not just today. The app uses a CareOps translation; it is not presented as a standardized local-language edition.
Reading your results
Read the scored total together with the answer summary. A screening score alone does not establish a diagnosis or explain the cause. The displayed ranges follow the app’s existing scoring and are not population percentiles.
A question to reflect on
