Almost one in ten men will experience depression at some time in their life. Although there is evidence that partnered (and particularly married) men are at lower risk of depression than are the general male population,¹ rates of depression among fathers are difficult to estimate on the basis of existing evidence.² Fathers might not be exposed to the same risk factors for depression as mothers, but they do experience a range of biopsychosocial stressors that might affect their mental health and also have indirect effects on their partners, their children, or both.

父亲抑郁对青春期后代抑郁症状的影响

十分之一的人在人生中的某个时候会感到沮丧。尽管有证据表明伴侣（特别是已婚）男性患抑郁症的风险比普通男性低，但根据现有证据很难估计父亲中的抑郁症发病率¹。²父亲可能没有与母亲一样遭受抑郁的危险因素，但是他们确实经历了一系列生物心理社会压力源，这些压力可能会影响其心理健康，并对他们的伴侣，子女或两者都有间接影响。
