What does depression look like? It’s not always… sadness. It can
be anger. Irritability. Picking fights. Checking out. Taking
risks that don't make sense. It can look, to everyone around you
— including you — like a character problem, not a medical
condition.

Christopher Choukalas is an ICU physician at UCSF. Six months
after his twin daughters were born, he had every symptom on the
paternal postpartum depression list. He had no idea.

In this episode, Dr. Becky and Dr. Choukalas go through the
symptom list live — and talk about why this form of depression is
so easy to miss, what it costs the whole family when it goes
unnamed, and what getting help actually looked like for one
father who needed it badly.

Christopher G. Choukalas, MD, MS is the author of Even the
Darkest Night: A Father's Journey of Hope and Healing from
Paternal Depression.
