Abstract

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that can affect women after childbirth, and this disorder can strike fathers as well as mothers. The study reports a 28-year-old man who attempted suicide three times following his wife's delivery and newborn baby boy. The psychiatric assessment showed that the man revealed major depression following childbirth. So effective mental disorders screening and health care services must be provided for fathers as well as mothers and children. © 2020 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.
