Postnatal depression contained by men?
My daughter is 18 months old so I don't know if it could class as PND. but my hubby has said he has be feeling really down lately. We are going to the doc next week.
The things he has mentioned nouns somewhat like typical PND thoughts:
Severe anxiety about the wellbeing of our daughter...
Worrying around something happening to him, me or Lucy.
and others things
Has anyone's partner (or yourself for the Dad's on here), been diagnosed with PND, and how be it treated?
Any other info/thoughts on this situation would be great... please keep it nice, I can handle people conversation down about me, but my hubby and my daughter are off limits.
From what I understand, PND is caused by the drastic loss of pregnancy hormones following delivery. IF that is to say the case, your husband couldn't possibly have PND, but could be showing signs of depression. If you feel it's essential and he agrees, make an appointment to see a psychiatrist to deal with the problem at paw.
That being said, it is nervewracking being a parent and you will both probably worry almost your daughter for the rest of her life
Male post natal depression sometimes occurs as a reaction when a man's womanly partner is suffering from post natal depression. Many men have claimed that coping with their partner’s depression leaves them feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and stigmatized.
I pulled that from the article you posted...are you experiencing PND? If not, next your husband is probably just a little "down." I would try alternative treatments before letting a Dr. confer him into immediately getting on anti-depressants. After all, he is not the one who gave birth over a year and a partly ago.
My husband gets "down" occasionally but after a few nights of cooking the dinners he loves and letting him go out and golf more than 3 night a week...he's fine & dandy.
Answers: Sounds more similar to a mild case of OCD. I personally do not know of any men having PND but yes it is solid. Good luck hope he feels better soon
My husband had a mild case of PPD/PND right along beside me. He came out of it just the same as I did. It's a bit behind schedule to be getting it but I guess it's possible. I think it's somewhat normal to have anxiety just about your child's well being and worrying that something could happen to any branch of the family. Having children really brings your own mortality right to the front and center of your brain. It affects everyone and I guess if it's affecting him enough to change the road he functions in life it would be a problem.
He may just want a bit on counseling ot help him get things in perspective or to acquire to the root of his thinking. I really found this helpful for me.
