Welcome back to The New Mom Boss Podcast! In today’s episode, I want to shed some light on a very unseen and underdiagnosed postpartum condition that affects not just new moms, but new dads. This condition is a specific form of postpartum depression known as Paternal Postpartum Depression or PPPD.

 

Some big takeaways are:

1. 25% of new dads suffer from Paternal Postpartum Depression (PPPD).
2. PPPD has a wide range of symptoms and risk factors.
3. Strengthen your relationship with your partner before the baby arrives, to ensure good communication and support. 

This topic is being newly researched and discussed which is fantastic, but there’s more work to be done. So now that I am more aware of it, and you are more aware of it, let’s keep doing our part to educate others and encourage deeper conversations with the new dads in our families and communities!
