Postpartum Depression Strikes New Fathers, Too

Post partm depression in men

It is gratifying to read about this because now we are acknowledging the true effect of birth and its impact on the entire family, not just the mother and sibbling(s), if any. The change affects the whole unit and it has nothing to do with surging or fluctuating hormones or hysreria.

While i"ve had a stable post partum period times four, there are others who are not so fortunate and they need our support.

Men and Postnatal Depression- My Story

Dear Sir or Madam

Please allow me to introduce myself. I have completed a book called My Journey to Her World which is a personal account of living with my wife’s depression and postnatal depression. This book is my story of how I came face-to-face with the devastating illness of depression and in particular postnatal depression, as I witnessed my wife suffer the traumatic effects that victims of this disease are subjected to. Being a male, I found it difficult to express my innermost thoughts. Help in the form of documented experiences was largely unavailable for men, thus my idea of sharing my own story was born.

By sharing the story of our relationship from first meeting to present day, I hope to enlighten the reader by offering, unusually, the male perspective on postnatal depression and in a wider context, help sufferers to understand the plight of their partner.

I feel that the book would be of relevance to your audience and am therefore contacting you to see if there is a possibility of perhaps having an article or mention of the book on your website.

My book is currently selling on Amazon and has featured on Fox News as part of a feature on the male perspective of post natal depression in January as well as national British television. The feature can be seen at:

With best wishes
