Men Suffer From Postnatal Depression Too

Did You Know...

1 in 10 New Fathers are Affected by

Postnatal Depression?

 
David, a dad who has benefited from CrossReach's Postnatal Depression Services, Lothian said in an interview, featured in the Edinburgh Evening News 04 July 2011:
 
"I did a good job of acting, but I felt like a criminal"

"The guilt was horrendous, not the guilt of keeping it from people but just that I was feeling it. I loved Freya, but I was thinking these thoughts about her. How could I love her if I had these thoughts? It ate away at me."

"I used to look at other dads and wish I were them. I was jealous."
