"Children of fathers [who] received the intervention showed better social and emotional development compared to children of fathers [who] received [no] treatment," said study leader Ishrat Husain.
"During our group's work with mothers experiencing postpartum depression in Pakistan, we were approached by their partners to develop similar interventions for them," said Husain.

Experts say the main problem is postpartum depression in men is an underrecognized issue, so people often don't realise effective treatments.
