Sintesi	The Antenatal Depression Scale (ADS) is a 10-item self-report screening instrument designed to identify depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Adapted from the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the ADS measures depressive mood, anhedonia, guilt, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-harm during the antenatal period. Early identification of antenatal depression enables prompt intervention, protecting both maternal mental health and fetal development.	The Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) is a 25-item self-report instrument designed to assess disorders of the mother-infant relationship and bonding in the early postpartum period. Developed by Brockington and colleagues in 2001, the PBQ screens for pathological bonding experiences, including impaired attachment, rejection, resentment, and anger toward the infant. A shorter 16-item version (PBQ-16) is also available for rapid screening in clinical settings.
