A trial of a new cognitive behavioural therapy program targets postpartum depression in fathers, highlighting its underrecognition, with promising results for both dad and child.
Children of fathers who received the intervention showed better social and emotional development, underscoring the dual impact of supporting fathers experiencing postpartum depression.

This study emerged from prior work with mothers in Pakistan, signifying a growing awareness of the need for targeted interventions for fathers experiencing similar issues.
