title: Committee opinion no. 453: Screening for depression during and after pregnancy.
abstract: Depression is very common during pregnancy and the postpartum period. At this time, there is insufficient evidence to support a firm recommendation for universal antepartum or postpartum screening. There are also insufficient data to recommend how often screening should be done. There are multiple depression screening tools available for use.
