i highly doubt it, postpartum depression comes from the changing hormones in the womans body with that being said im sure the father can be depressed after the birth of a child, there is a lot of pressure on the father (financial, taking care of the mum, helping with the baby) not to mention changing your life around so although i wouldnt call it postpartum (postnatal) depression, im sure a guy can be depressed ~alicia~
