Paternal post-natal depression.

Maria Kontoyannis*

Introduction: The psychology of the father during childbirth is of a limited research field in contrast to that of the mother and only in recent years have some study efforts been made in order to understand the magnitude of the problem. Post-natal depression to the father in severe cases can have negative effects on the psychological and emotional development of the child as well as on the relationship of the couple and that of the family in general.

Aim/Methods: In this review we will attempt to survey the existing literature on paternal occurrence of melancholia in puerperium.

Results: The research on the topic of paternal melancholy proved to be incomplete, but it needs further research since the importance of a healthy relationship between the father and the child has been proven for its proper development.
