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. Dr. Becky sits down with ICU physician Christopher Choukalas, who developed every symptom on the paternal postpartum depression list six months after his twin daughters were born, and had no idea what was happening to him. They also cover 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.
