Just leafing through the Journal of the American Medical Association this morning when I came upon a new study that estimates some dads get depressed when a new baby joins the family.
Turns out about 10 per cent of daddies are depressed immediately when a new one is introduced to the pack. Then in the period three to six months after the baby’s birth the rate of depression builds to 25 per cent.
This contrasts to numbers that show 13 per cent of mothers will experience postpartum depression within the first 12 weeks.
