Video Summary:
Wondering how to actually support your partner though postpartum or postpartum depression? Dr. K breaks down why most dads default to either practical help or emotional reassurance when both are necessary. He explains the real goal is about supporting your partner’s self-efficacy and helping her feel like a good mother. Dr. K covers postpartum depression and psychosis statistics, warning signs to watch for, and why poor social support is a bigger risk factor than intimate partner violence. He also reframes “toxic masculinity” as often a skill gap, not a moral failing, and explains why fatherhood functions like a second childhood.
