Does anyone else’s DH have PND? Or any tips that might help?

[Barrio37]

I have a four month old baby and my DH has been really down for the past month. He used to be a very positive, high-energy person but now he’s the opposite - very low and moody. He also gets much more easily frustrated if he can’t settle the baby for example. I want to help but I’m also exhausted and a bit down. We don’t have much support because of lockdown and our baby is amazing but suffers from reflux and has never been a good sleeper which makes things harder. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and what helped for you.

Heath care services are still open so he should be able to get in touch with the GP and get an appointment. Mental health is no joke so definitely good to have picked that up as there's no standard screening for that as far as i could see.
Hope things get easier in time.

GP. He might not want to admit to himself that he's struggling mentally - I didn't (m) when my son was born and had to be encouraged into it by my wife.
