她说："大多数准妈妈都会在分娩后的几周内患上抑郁症，但产后抑郁会使其更为严重。但当妈妈两年之后才被诊断出抑郁症并不稀奇。父亲经常性的陪伴在另一半身边、陪伴在孩子身边是很重要的。需要注意情绪不高、容易落泪、昏昏欲睡、不想下床、想法激进等问题。"

"The symptoms stay around. Not someone who is teary for a couple of days and then OK for weeks at a time. I do think dads are very good at picking up on it but think addressing it is incredibly difficult because they don't know how to do it."

"这些症状一直存在。并不只是每次落泪几天，而后正常几个星期。我觉得父亲十分擅长发现这个问题，但解决这个问题却十分困难，因为他们不知该如何去做。"

Amy children are now aged three, five and eight, has suffered for depression herself had some illuminating tips for new dads. She said: "Dads maybe scared of it and it could be a difficult question to ask 'are you ok?'. It could sound like a judgement about how good a mother is. I think it's important for dads to seek advice from someone in the friendship group perhaps, one of his female relations, or her mother if he has a good relationship with her."

艾米的孩子现在分别三岁、五岁和八岁，她本人患过抑郁症，她给了准爸爸一些令人启发的建议。她说："爸爸们可能害怕抑郁症，羞于启齿'你还好吗'这个问题。听起来像是在评论你这个母亲当的好不好。我觉得爸爸们找朋友圈的哥们儿、姐们儿或者自己的母亲（如果与母亲关系很好的话）汲取建议是很重要的。"
