It’s common for mothers to give birth and then struggle with postpartum depression. In fact, Mayo Clinic suggests that the “baby blues” affect anywhere from 11 to 20 percent of all mothers.

Symptoms include: depressed mood or severe mood swings, intense irritability and anger, feeling like you’re not a good parent, severe anxiety or panic attacks, and thoughts of death or suicide.

While the rate of postpartum depression tends to be higher in women, it’s not specific to mothers. Though the topic of postpartum depression already carries its own stigma of being taboo, it’s even less-spoken about when it occurs in fathers.

“I think maybe it’s still hard for people to understand that men can get postpartum depression because they don’t understand the underlying risk factors,” says Founder of Postpartum Progress, Katherine Stone. “It may be hard to understand from the standpoint of, ‘Well, if you didn’t have the baby, how can you have it?’”

Statistics actually show that 10 to 25 percent of dads suffer from postpartum depression.
