It's also treatable: There's help waiting for you, and you're not alone. "Postpartum depression isn't anything to feel ashamed or embarrassed about, and it's never your fault," says Juli Fraga, Psy.D, a psychologist who focuses on maternal mental health. "With support, you will get better." The postpartum depression quiz below is based on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire – 9 (PHQ-9). It isn't meant to be a diagnosis, or to replace a visit to a healthcare provider. But it can help you identify issues and seek help. If you have any symptoms of PPD, make sure to reach out to your doctor or midwife. And if you're ever thinking of harming yourself or your baby, get help immediately.
