Abstract

One hundred women attending a maternity hospital antenatal clinic who were between 28 and 34 weeks gestation completed the EPDS and were then interviewed using a standardized psychiatric interview. EPDS scores were compared with RDC diagnosis of major and minor depression and with total weighted score derived from the interview. The EPDS identified all women with RDC major depression but was less effective in detecting those with RDC minor depression.
