But in reality, postnatal depression affects almost as many men as women – with some research estimating it occurs in up to 10% of fathers.

Key Points: 
  • But in reality, postnatal depression affects almost as many men as women – with some research estimating it occurs in up to 10% of fathers.
  • Yet despite how common postnatal depression may be in men, there still isn’t very much information out there about it.
  • This can make it hard to know if you may have postnatal depression – and how to get help if you do.

Why it happens

    • There are many reasons why postnatal depression happens.
    • Even in women, hormones only play a small role in postnatal depression.
    • The symptoms of postnatal depression are quite similar to symptoms of depression.

Getting help

    • While it can be difficult to know how to take the first step in getting support, a good starting point is simply acknowledging that this is a difficult thing to talk about.
    • As simple as this sounds, it may just help you feel less awkward about sharing your experiences when you do speak to someone.
    • Try to let the anger go – it may help you feel more at ease opening up about your other emotions.
    • Fortunately, compared to just a few years ago, there’s more awareness and help available than ever before.
