Influencing Factors and Interventions of Postpartum Depression in Men

Abstract

Postpartum depression in men is similar to that of women with postpartum depression, but the manifestations are different. Yet, this mental illnesses in men are not being given the same attention as women, and some people aren't even aware that males can exhibit postpartum depression symptoms. As a result, this article lists the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression in males, as well as the internal and external variables that cause it and the interventions available for treating it. This article also provides a relatively comprehensive summary of the elements influencing it and coping strategies, and outlines the current state of research. Future research should focus on examining scales specifically designed to screen men, using experimental studies to validate and explore the factors that influence postpartum depression in men. The field of cross-cultural research has much room for development, and the medical system for the treatment for men needs to be improved.
