Post- Partum Depression In Men
Paternal post-natal depression may occur in men just as women experience post-partum depression. Sleep deprivation plays a major role as well as hormonal changes; testosterone levels go down and estrogen levels go up in fathers who have this type of depression. The responsibility of being a dad and levels of self-esteem also play a pivotal role in whether the paternal post-natal depression occurs in men or not. Men are also more likely to avoid treatment because of mental health stigmas in society.
