What Men Don’t Understand About Pregnancy (Postpartum Depression)
Description
In this episode, Dr. K breaks down the clinical realities of postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis, examining why new fathers often struggle to provide effective support during this high-stakes period. He explains that supporting a partner requires balancing emotional validation with active, practical help specifically by preserving her sleep, reducing her cognitive load, and actively building her self-efficacy as a mother. Framing fatherhood as a "second childhood," Dr. K offers actionable guidance for men to redefine self-reliance, replace toxic coping mechanisms, and successfully navigate the massive identity shift that parenthood requires.
