A member asked:
What's the doctor's recommendation to help my partner with postpartum depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Support her: Support your partner by being present and willing to share in the responsibilities of caring for your new infant. Help her get professional care for her depression -- this can be vital in your baby's life also. Medicines (some are safe in breastfeeding) and talk therapy may help her. Know that men can suffer post partum depression & need help as well. Reach out to others, incl. Extended family.
