The recommended cut-off scores of 51for screening major or minor depressive disorders and of 90 for screening major depressive disorder Area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was 0.8 for major and minor depressive disorders and 0.9 for major depressive disorder In conclusion, this is a useful and beneficial instrument as there is no other Thai version validated instrument for postpartum depression.
