概要	The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is a 10-item self-report screening questionnaire developed by John Cox, Jeni Holden, and Ruth Sagovsky in 1987 to identify postnatal depression in new mothers. Published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, the EPDS specifically addresses depressive symptoms common in the postpartum period, avoiding items that might confound with normal pregnancy or postpartum adjustment (e.g., sleep disturbance from infant care). It is widely endorsed by obstetric and midwifery organizations, freely available, and used globally as the standard for perinatal depression screening.	The Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology is a 16-item assessment designed by A. John Rush and colleagues to efficiently measure the severity of depressive symptoms in adults. Published in Biological Psychiatry in 2003, the QIDS exists in both self-report (QIDS-SR) and clinician-rated (QIDS-C) versions. It was developed as a brief alternative to the longer Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS, 30 items) while maintaining comprehensive coverage of DSM-IV depressive symptoms. The QIDS has become a standard outcome measure in treatment research, particularly in large comparative effectiveness trials.
