The birth of my first child knocked me sideways and completely undermined my ability to work – not just about lack of sleep, but the change of life/expectations that the men in the Grauniad article talked about. I certainly think it’s ridiculous to suggest that I had (or have) PND, but the more I read and hear, the more I think parents of both sexes who become significantly depressed after birth are ‘normal’.
