Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) for screening for depression in the first year post delivery in a low-resourced rural setting in Kenya
Postnatal depression is one of the most common mental disorders among postnatal mothers and may have severe consequences for mothers and their children.

This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of a culturally adapted version of the Edinburgh Postnatal …

All adult patients seeking care from trained THPs (e…

The goal of the present investigation is…
