S2. 4. Postnatal depression and parenthood


Listen Later

In this special episode, the Croydon dads open up about postnatal depression, a subject that affects more families than many realise. They share their own experiences of low moods, exhaustion and feeling powerless, and talk about how these challenges can touch both parents, especially when juggling life’s other pressures. From sleepless nights to the strain of supporting a partner while struggling yourself, this honest conversation explores how easy it is to bottle things up and why talking to your partner, friends, or other parents and groups really matters. It’s a heartfelt look at the long road through postnatal depression, the power of communication, and the reminder that things do get easier with time. Watch, share, and help open up the conversation about mental health and fatherhood.
