Abstract
The purpose of this mini-review is to highlight aspects of current research on paternal postpartum depression. Specifically, this review identifies risk factors, provides insight in the areas of screening, assessment and diagnosis, and intervention strategies. Paternal postpartum depression has received limited attention as much of the research has been focused on maternal postpartum depression; yet there is increasing recognition of the impact of postpartum depression on fathers and their families.
