When Dads Get Depressed -- Who Says Postpartum Is Just for Women? {Asylum}

Aug 23rd 2010 7:18PM Wow, last two commenters, I know the internets get all the crazos, but you two take the cake. Have you ever taken care of a baby? No matter if you are the mother, father, nanny, babysitter, random passerby as the baby is screaming, you are involved in that child's frustrations of early life before motor skills are developed (maybe you two are still in that stage). Babies are a lot of work and sometimes a joy to be around, and if people stay silent about the bad parts, the rage/insanity feelings get stronger and stronger. I am not a mother but I can empathize nonetheless with human beings who feel overwhelmed and express it with suggestions for others who may feel the same and are wondering if they have any recourse.

Thanks Chris - those good moments make it all worth it somehow, and remember to breathe in and out and put your left foot in front of the right, and so on and so forth.
