Join me as I explore the realities of PND, a condition commonly associated with mothers but one that affects dads too, often catching them off guard. Here I shed light on the pressures and mental health challenges new fathers face. I highlight the importance of recognising the signs of PND, the impact it can have on the family, and the necessity of seeking support. This episode offers valuable insights for both dads and mums, emphasising the need for open conversations and mutual support in navigating the complex emotions of parenthood. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how PND manifests in fathers, the barriers to seeking help, and practical advice on supporting each other through this challenging phase.
