Postnatal Depression for Dads

Dave Edwards is a father of two who’s really struggled with post-natal depression. Dave was rattled from the moment his now 8 year old son was born. He soon developed anxiety and depression as the pressure and reality of being a father hit home. Putting on a brave face for his partner, Dave was ashamed to share how he was really feeling. He’s not alone - around 5% of new dads develop postnatal depression in their child’s first year of life.
