The BBC covering postnatal depression in fathers. (Waiting for them to put out some hit piece in balance)

This is something I am concerned about. During my pregnancy so far my husband has definitely had some sympathy symptoms. And he has admitted he is worried about newborn care and making a mistake to hurt our baby.

I, along with many women, babysat at a teen and I did infant care in church for a long time so I am reasonably confident, but he never had those experiences. Plus, his work doesn't give any paternity time for him to be home and really bond at the newborn level. He'll have his vacation time, but that's it.

Of course these things are going to have a negative impact!

I am all for this, men get postpartum depression. Both genders get it.

Many post about how male mental health issues are ignored. But then this gets posted to normalize male mental health issues and it gets 8 upvotes...

Seems even the people that complain about mental health issues being ignored are just as guilty as the feminists for ignoring it.
