HealthDay (6/18, Preidt) reported, “Postpartum depression strikes fathers of premature babies more often than previously thought, and it can linger longer in fathers than in mothers,” according to researchers who “screened for depression in 431 parents of premature infants in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and identified depression symptoms in 33% of mothers and 17% of fathers.” The study was published in Pediatrics.
