RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Screening for depressive symptoms JF Canadian Family Physician JO Can Fam Physician FD The College of Family Physicians of Canada SP 777 OP 778 VO 57 IS 7 A1 Asnat Walfisch A1 Corey Sermer A1 Ilan Matok A1 Gideon Koren A1 Adrienne Einarson YR 2011 UL http://www.cfp.ca/content/57/7/777.abstract AB Question Several of my female patients of reproductive age seem to be depressed. Is there a simple tool I can use to screen them? Answer Motherisk is using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale to screen for depression. This simple questionnaire is filled out by women while in the waiting room. Using this tool has helped us identify large numbers of women who are at risk of, but have not been diagnosed with, depression. We believe family physicians should use this screening tool extensively with women of reproductive age.
