Untreated perinatal paternal depression: Effects on offspring (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Note: So many of us mistakingly believe hormone-related changes in pregnant women are the only cause of depression for new parents. Not so, as many fathers and adoptive parents know. This abstract suggests the following:

Hence, facilitating access to vigorous and evidence based treatments is a public health opportunity for improving the quality of life of depressed parents and their children. Evidences emerging from this review actually suggest that the traditional gender-focused approach to perinatal mood disorders should be completed by a family-centred approach, in order to improve the effectiveness of perinatal mental health programs.

I believe that both of my parents were both "Untreated Adult Children" who needed mental health services, but instead turned to a local protestant church and left out the Medical professionals as well as the Mental health professionals. Sadly by 2 younger brothers were victims of the madness.
