Screening for Postpartum Depression Using EPDS and HAM-D in Mothers Within 72 Hours After Delivery at a Tertiary Care Center (SOS-Mamma Study)

Participants will undergo a standardized psychological screening protocol for postpartum depression within 72 hours after delivery. The protocol includes: (1) completion of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a 10-item self-administered questionnaire assessing depressive symptoms; and (2) administration of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), a 17-item clinician-administered tool for evaluating the severity of depressive symptoms. The combined use of these tools allows early detection and stratification of postpartum depressive symptoms in a clinical population.
