Pregnancy and the months after birth can bring feelings that are hard to put into words. The EPDS Postnatal Mood Workbook gives you a paper way to answer the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) about the past 7 days, total your responses, and prepare for a conversation with a health professional. The score is a screening signal, not a diagnosis or a measure of how well you parent.
The 31 pages are delivered as nine separate PDF files in both A4 and US Letter: Cover (1 page), Start Here (3), Questionnaire and Scoring (4), Worksheets (11), Trackers (5), Quick Reference (2), Guide (2), Clinician Guide (2), and Credits and References (1). The questionnaire, scoring key, band bar, and fictional worked example show how the total is calculated. Worksheets include a support map, worry sort, hard day plan, and professional-visit preparation; trackers record score history, mood, rest, and weekly reflections. Fridge and wallet cards keep prompts and support contacts close.
Use the suggested six-week path at your own pace, returning to repeat-marked pages when useful. The quick reference recommends spacing repeat questionnaires about a week apart. You can bring the score history or visit-preparation page to a health professional. At the end, you have written reflections, a record of scores and patterns, and questions or next steps to discuss. The workbook is for educational self-reflection, not diagnosis or treatment.
What you get
- Answer the 10 EPDS items about the past 7 days, then use the scoring key and fictional example to total your responses.
- Read the Guide's score bands alongside their limits, including why a low total does not rule out a concern.
- Use the support map, worry sort, and hard day plan worksheets to write down people and steps to discuss.
- Record scores on the Tracker 1 history chart and note mood, rest, and weekly reflections on repeatable pages.
- Keep the Quick Reference fridge card nearby for support contacts and a brief daily check-in prompt.
What it is not
This workbook is for educational self-reflection, not diagnosis or treatment. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was developed by John Cox, John Holden, and Ruth Sagovsky; personal-use and direct-client printing terms are stated in the pack.
Questions people ask
Can I print the EPDS workbook on A4 or US Letter paper?
Yes. The pack includes nine separate PDF files in both A4 and US Letter, with matching page counts. The questionnaire and scoring section is 4 pages; the full set is 31 pages in either size.
How do I score the EPDS in this workbook?
Answer each item for the past 7 days and use the printed scoring key. Items 1, 2, and 4 score 0-1-2-3 down the answers; items 3 and 5-10 score 3-2-1-0. Add the items for a total from 0 to 30. The result is a screening score, not a diagnosis.
How often should I repeat the EPDS?
The Quick Reference suggests repeating it about a week apart, and the six-week path includes a later re-test. Use the repeatable score history to record totals over time, and discuss concerns with a health professional rather than relying on the score alone.
