What Does Paternal Postpartum Depression Look Like?

Postpartum depression in men doesn’t always show up the same way it does in women. Instead of sadness or crying, it might look like:

👉Anger or irritability
👉Emotional numbness
👉Withdrawal from family and friends
👉Increased use of alcohol or drugs
👉Workaholism
👉Trouble bonding with the baby
👉Feeling hopeless or like you’re “failing” as a father or partner

You might even convince yourself you’re just tired or stressed from the usual “new dad” chaos.
