View submission: Yes, Dads Can Struggle With Postpartum Depression—Here’s Why

View parent comment

100%. Women were not at all respected or listened to about PPD, and people have to realize it’s only been recently that women have been recognized for it. And in even just several decades ago fathers as a whole didn’t aid in the rearing of babies- so this is a more new phenomenon for attentive fathers.

So it’s women who tried to hard to be listened to feeling like men hijacked their very real PPD (because they feel like if men have it it’ll finally be taken seriously), and this hurts men greatly from their also very real experiences.

Very complicated.
