1 in 10 dads experience depression in their baby's first year and most are never asked about it.

But it doesnโ€™t always show up in the same waysโ€ฆ

For a lot of fathers it can be irritability, going quiet, working later, drinking more, or a general feeling of emptiness when you expected to feel everything.

It tends to peak around 3 to 6 months after the birth, which is exactly when everyone assumes you should be settling in.

There are a few potential causes: sleep deprivation, a sudden change in your relationship, the pressure to provide, and no space to talk about any of it.
If you recognise these symptoms, you donโ€™t need a referral for NHS Talking Therapies, you can self-refer.

Contact the PANDAS Foundation: 0808 1961 776 (free) or WhatsApp 07903 508334.

If you want additional parenting support, the Anya app has clinically reviewed content on perinatal mental health as well as communities of people going through similar situations.
