Dear Father, Take Care!

The changes in mothers' mental health during the perinatal period have been well-studied, while fathers' mental health during the same stressful period has not received as much attention because a father is supposed to be the superman in our society

The stereotyped gender roles make it very difficult for fathers to express their emotions because the expression of emotions by a man is still not acceptable in many parts of the world.

We all know about Postpartum Depression. We know that a woman goes through a lot of changes Post-Childbirth but we often forget the mixed bag of emotions that fathers are going through!

Whether financial it is sleep deprivation, worries, new responsibilities, or the relationship dynamic shifting, fathers also have a lot to take on board.
