Paternal Postnatal Depression

[DaisyBailey]

Hello,

I am a writer, journalist and freelance producer and am planning an article about paternal postnatal depression. It will explore the experience of the father, the effect on the family unit, ways of coping and where to find support. I feel this is a hugely unexplored topic in the national press and that many families would greatly benefit by knowing more about it.

As well as speaking to healthcare professionals for the article, I am also looking to speak to fathers who have suffered with, or are still suffering with, postnatal depression. The overall aim of the article is to explore this subject sensitively and compassionately and to provide a better understanding for families going through it.

I realise this is a profoundly sensitive subject and one that is often very difficult to discuss. If you might be happy to talk to me, or would like to know any more about the piece, then please do get in touch. Anything discussed will be treated with the utmost sensitivity.

Thanks very much,

All the best,

Daisy
