[quote=Anonymous]How is he sleeping? Men go through PPD also, especially with lack of sleep. If he hasn’t been getting a solid 8 hrs (or minimum 5 hr uninterrupted stretch per night, plus another 2-3 hrs scattered), make this a priority. Get him to do 30 min of exercise outdoors and make him take Omega 3 fish oil and a Vit D supplement in addition to whatever his dr recommends.

My husband was in the same place when our kids were that age. Similar to the quarantine, we were working from home due to lack of help and family support. He recovered without meds or hospitalization. However he did not have issues with depression prior. I think it was a sleep deprivation and life change issue. It was really rough. I’m sorry OP. Keep checking with your intuition and follow as best you can. Google PPD dads, there was a decent British site I found. Sleep, exercise, nutrition and community can be really healing. After that it just takes time. My husband was out of crisis mode after a few months of hitting bottom. Probably took a year to get things more back to normal. About two years out now and he is not only his old happy self, he has learned so much about himself and his emotions. Hang in there. It’s a good sign he is reaching out.[/quote]
