First Time Dads

A dad with post-natal depression? Yes, really


Listen Later

Only new mums get post natal depression, right? Wrong.
Not long after the birth of his first child in 2004, Mark Williams was having suicidal thoughts. While his wife was suffering with severe post-natal depression, Mark was also in the midst of a similar mental health crisis… which had all stemmed from becoming a parent.
Now a men's mental health activist and author of new book Daddy Blues, Mark joins Steve and Rich to tell his story, reveal how quite normal dad questions and issues can spiral into post-natal depression and ponder why we as men still struggle to discuss our mental health.
