Lesbian and bisexual women who were pregnant (N=16), biological (N=18) or non-biological (N=15) parents completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and scores were compared to a previously published heterosexual sample. Lesbian and bisexual biological mothers had significantly higher EPDS scores than the previously published sample of heterosexual women. Results suggest that perinatal depression is not less common and may be more common among lesbian and bisexual women relative to heterosexual women. Additional, longitudinal studies are needed.
怀孕的女同性恋者和双性恋女性（N = 16）、亲生父母（N = 18）或非亲生父母（N = 15）完成了爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS），并将得分与之前发表的异性恋样本进行比较。女同性恋和双性恋亲生母亲的EPDS得分显著高于之前发表的异性恋女性样本。结果表明，围产期抑郁症在女同性恋和双性恋女性中并不少见，相对于异性恋女性可能更常见。还需要进一步的纵向研究。
