Postpartum depression check-in

A short, private check-in for new and expectant parents, asking how you have felt in the past seven days rather than how you feel today.

This is a screening, not a diagnosis. Your answers are scored on your device and are never sent or saved — not even if you ask us to follow up afterwards. For a full picture, talk with a licensed Deaf therapist.

In the past 7 days…

  1. 1I have been able to laugh and see the funny side of things.
  2. 2I have looked forward with enjoyment to things.
  3. 3I have blamed myself unnecessarily when things went wrong.
  4. 4I have been anxious or worried for no good reason.
  5. 5I have felt scared or panicky for no very good reason.
  6. 6Things have been getting on top of me.
  7. 7I have been so unhappy that I have had difficulty sleeping.
  8. 8I have felt sad or miserable.
  9. 9I have been so unhappy that I have been crying.
  10. 10The thought of harming myself has occurred to me.
