Guys go through a lot that they don’t talk about and, even though they’re not the ones who give birth, up to 10% of new dads experience postpartum depression, according to research from the Center for Pediatric Research at the Eastern Virginia Medical School. When men are embarrassed and hide their feelings, it only delays the help they need.
Additional new research shows that one difference with men is that the depression tends to develop more gradually over the course of the baby’s first year. Men are misdiagnosed for that reason and also because the symptoms come from a pool of issues that mirror any type of depression specifically characteristic of men, according to postpartummen.com:
Increased anger and conflict with others
Increased use of alcohol or other drugs
Frustration or irritability
Violent behavior
Losing weight without trying
Isolation from family and friends
Being easily stressed
Impulsiveness and taking risks, like reckless driving and extramarital sex
Feeling discouraged
Increases in complaints about physical problems
Ongoing physical symptoms, like headaches, digestion problems or pain
Problems with concentration and motivation
Loss of interest in work, hobbies and sex
Working constantly
Frustration or irritability
Misuse of prescription medication
Increased concerns about productivity and functioning at school or work
Fatigue
Experiencing conflict between concept of being “manly” and true feelings
Thoughts of suicide
In addition to prescribing antidepressants, some doctors offer a somewhat still controversial alternative called Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS). This non-invasive, FDA-cleared technology places a cushioned helmet over a patient’s head and generates brief magnetic fields at an amplitude similar to that used in an MRI.
Whether you’re a man or a woman talking to a doctor about depression, make sure that you report everything going on in your life. Doctors can connect the dots for an accurate diagnosis only when they have all of the facts.
