Track wellbeing using a trusted postpartum screening framework. See totals, severity ranges, charts, and exports. Understand patterns and plan helpful next steps with confidence.
This tool is a screening calculator, not a diagnosis. It helps organise answers from the last seven days and supports discussion with a qualified health professional.
If you feel you might harm yourself, feel unable to stay safe, or need urgent help, contact your local emergency services or crisis support line immediately.
Answer every item based on how you have felt during the past 7 days.
Complete the form to generate the question-by-question score chart.
| Example profile | Total score | Question 10 score | Screen range | Suggested interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example A | 7 | 0 | Below common positive-screen threshold | Lower reported symptom burden. Continue monitoring and discuss concerns if symptoms persist. |
| Example B | 11 | 0 | Positive screen range | Symptoms deserve timely follow-up and supportive discussion with a clinician. |
| Example C | 16 | 1 | Higher-likelihood positive screen | Prompt professional assessment is recommended, with immediate attention to safety. |
Total Score = Sum of all 10 question scores
Each item contributes a score from 0 to 3.
Questions 1, 2, and 4 score from 0 to 3 in the listed order.
Questions 3 and 5 through 10 use reversed scoring in the listed order.
The maximum total is 30. A nonzero score on question 10 should be treated as an urgent safety flag.
It summarises how strongly postnatal depressive symptoms were reported over the last seven days. Higher totals suggest more concern and a stronger need for clinical follow-up.
No. It is a screening aid. Diagnosis requires full clinical assessment, context, history, and professional judgement.
You can repeat it when symptoms change, after supportive care begins, or if a clinician asks you to monitor progress over time.
It asks about thoughts of self-harm. Any score above zero needs immediate attention, even if the total score is otherwise moderate or low.

They can use it as a conversation starter, but the answers should come from the person experiencing the symptoms.
That time window helps capture current symptoms clearly and makes repeat measurements easier to compare.
Yes. Repeating the same structured questions over time can help show changes in symptom intensity, especially when reviewed with a clinician.
