New York Times On Dads with Postpartum Depression

This week, the New York Times wrote about how fathers can get postpartum depression. I wasn't in any hurry to post this because I knew that Postpartum Progress readers are smarter than the average bear, and most of you already knew this. Anyway, here's a link to the story.

I don't write much about paternal postnatal depression here, mainly because I'm not a dad. Not being a dude, and thus not having gone through this as a male, I don't feel I can contribute a whole lot to what a father must go through when experiencing postpartum depression, other than to express my deepest empathy and share whatever news comes down the pike. Here aresome good resources for men with this illness, as I've shared before:

• Postpartum Men
• Newsweek
• Postpartum Dads Project
