Dads and partners need help too. Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) do not discriminate.
Research shows a lot is going on for the non-birthing parent! Fathers experience hormonal changes as well as structural brain changes during their partner’s pregnancy and following birth. There are social, psychological, and environmental factors as well that impact the mental health of both parents. Moms need a lot of support, and so do their partners, so if you’re suffering please reach out. You are not alone and you deserve to receive the care you need when you need it for your sake, your partner’s sake, and the health of your family.
