Article Draft

Lead:

N/A. The article I chose, I'll be adding a new section to it on postpartum depression in fathers. The topic is vaguely mentioned but the article focuses mainly on women.

Article body

Postpartum Depression in Fathers: Paternal postpartum depression has not been studied as intently has its maternal counterpart. In men, postpartum depression is typically defined as "an episode of major depressive disorder (MDD) occurring soon after the birth of a child" ^[1]. Symptoms of postpartum depression in men are extreme sadness, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, and suicidal thoughts. Postpartum depression in men is most likely to occur 3-6 months after delivery, and is correlated with maternal depression, meaning that if the mother is experiencing postpartum depression, then the father is at a higher risk of developing the illness as well^[2]. Postpartum depression in men leads to an increase risk of suicide, while also limiting healthy infant-father attachment. Men who experience PPD can exhibit poor parenting behaviors, distress, and reduce infant interaction^[3].

Response to Peer Reviews:

Tiffany: With her peer review, I will take the statement, “Fathers, who are not undergoing profound hormonal changes, can also have postpartum depression. The cause may be distinct in males.” and add it to the new section that I will be creating since she was right that it seemed to be in an odd placement currently.
Jessie: Not much to respond to since she just mentioned how the topic was an interesting and valid one.
Skymcm2015: I have included two additional peer reviewed sources this week and agree that my section should likely go in the body of the article.
Crequito 18: There isn't much to respond to here, since they just mentioned how they liked the topic and the lack of information regarding PPD in fathers.
Vre99: added the correlation between maternal PPD and paternal PPD. If I can find any sources, I will mention why there is no formal diagnosis for paternal PPD.
Amaija99: There's not much to respond to here.
Mallie: For some reason, I can't find Mallie's review and I've checked all of the places that come to mind.
