Postpartum Depression for MEN?

Postpartum Depression 1 Postpartum Depression 2

A recent scientific study suggests up to 10% of males suffer from Postpartum Depression as their testosterone levels decrease after the birth of a child, which is sorta a chicken or egg question.  Was research done before such a child was born to see if said individuals had lower testosterone levels due to inactive sexual activity as well as thoughts of losing “one’s freedom” as a result of a birth?  Even if their testosterone level appeared not to decrease during such pregnancy what inner thoughts invaded these individuals minds and what activities or lack thereof occurred during this time periods. Therefore maybe we should invite more men into therapy during and after pregnancy’s to insure their feelings are dealt with in a constructive and healthy way.
