Dads can struggle with postpartum mental health too
Manage episode 415618351 series 2686793
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and just as much as we need to focus on maternal mental health, we also need to recognize that dads and non-birthing partners also can struggle postpartum as well. 7% and 9% of new fathers develop postpartum depression. I invited my husband back on the show to chat about postpartum mental health and mental health concerns in general in men.
We discuss
- Why men and women can struggle with their mental health postpartum
- Why men don’t talk about their mental health struggles or seek help as much as women may
- The cultural barriers that exist that normalize seeking mental health help
- How we’re raising our kids to undo this cycle of mental health stigma
- How consistent therapy has helped my husband and myself
For more on postpartum mental health for all caregivers, visit this resource. If you are dealing with postpartum mental health concerns and need help, visit Postpartum Support International.
We love the sponsors that make this show possible! You can always find all the special deals and codes for all our current sponsors on the PedsDocTalk Podcast Sponsors page of the website.
