Karen Kleiman, author of "The Postpartum Husband" among other great books, reported a while back about a new book called "My Journey to Her World: How I Coped With My Wife’s Postnatal Depression", written by Michael Lurie. It is described on Amazon.com as a description of the experience of partners and husbands as they go through the perinatal mood disorders of their wives and significant others. Lurie shares his own story and what he learned through his wife’s experience with PPD. More recently, Lauren Hale over at Sharing the Journey did an interview with Mr. Lurie about his book. Check it out here.
We need more men like Michael Lurie and David Klinker at Postpartum Dads sharing their feelings openly and working to let other fathers know how to support women through these illnesses and how to get through them themselves.
