This episode is brought to you by Matt Crain - the sole sponsor of this podcast! He pays for it all and takes care of the kids while I'm busy making it, so I thought in honor of Father's Day in the US, it was only fair to let him put in his two cents!  I ask him some never-before-discussed questions like "What did you think was going on with me?" and "Did you think that was the real me, and I had just fooled you up to that point?" We laugh a lot as we think back to those days, and we get serious as we discuss what to say, what not to say, signs to look out for, and what we wish we could tell our younger selves.  This is an episode to share with your partners and open up a dialogue about postpartum mood disorders. We hope it will be a resource to help you as you try to fight mental illness as a team, rather than fighting each other.  Links we refer to:  For Dads: What to Do, What Not to Do When Your Wife has PPD via Psychology Today 9 Signs My Wife Had Postpartum Depression (that I wish I'd seen sooner) via Husband Help Haven   How to Help Your Wife with Postpartum Depression via Husband Help Haven
