Baby daddy has postnatal depression

Hey ladies!

Has anyone else gone through the same thing with their partner? 

I have struggled with my mental health since I was 16 years old, but ever since I had my 3 month old my mental health has never been better. But the opposite has happened with my partner. He has also struggled before but he said it took a turn when I was pregnant as I had a really bad pregnancy and was in bed the majority of the time poorly so he was on his own a lot. I’ve managed to get him to go to the doctors for medication but I’m trying to get him to go to Andy’s man club or therapy and he just doesn’t seem up for it. I don’t want him to miss out on the most important year of her life because of his depression but I’m not sure how to get him to help himself. 

Does anyone have any advice or a similar story? 

Thank you for reading
