Dad's postpartum depression

It is not only women who can suffer from postpartum depression: it can also happen to men, especially if they have a history of depression.


  • Sadness, fatigue, feelings of being overwhelmed by events: just like moms, fathers can break down after the arrival of a baby.
  • Whatever the gender, the symptoms are generally the same as those of women: depression, loss of appetite, dark thoughts, and anxiety are the most significant.
  • Men who have already experienced depressive episodes are more likely than others to experience postpartum depression.
