Welcome back!
Did you know that as many as 1 in 4 new dads get postpartum depression? It’s true! Just being a parent can be hard, and being the parent of an infant is especially challenging. If you are a father suffering from exhaustion and anxiety, have lost your sense of humor and are often irritable, angry or otherwise miserable, you might be experiencing PPND (Paternal Postnatal Depression).
Dr. Will Courtenay ““ known as “The Men”™s Doc” ““ is an internationally recognized expert in helping men. His website, www.SadDaddy.com, is a place for men with concerns about depression, anxiety or other problems with mood after the birth of a child. It promotes self-help, provides important information for fathers (including a self-assessment for postpartum depression), hosts an online forum for dads to talk to each other, offers resources, gathers new information about men”™s experiences postpartum, and ““ most importantly ““ helps fathers to beat the baby blues.
Join me and Dr. Courtenay on The Mommy-Muse Is In: Empowering Your Journey into Motherhood as we discuss the rarely-acknowledged challenges men face while journeying into new fatherhood, and offer strategies that can truly make a difference to you.
