Reuters (7/23, Rapaport) reports that research suggests “fathers of young children may be almost as likely as new mothers to experience symptoms of depression.”
Medscape (7/23, MacReady, Subscription Publication) reports that investigators found that “of the fathers screened in a large, population-based cohort, 4.4% had a positive result for depression, which is similar to the percentage of mothers who screened positive, at 5.0%.” The findings were published online in JAMA Pediatrics.
