Vic and Al talk about how to cope with the shock of becoming a parent, what happens when it all gets a little too hard and discuss post-natal depression in dads (yes, it's a real thing). They also talk to Terri Smith, who is the CEO Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia to get some great advice on how to cope (SPOILER: always ask for help!) and check in with a mum and friend of the show, Sam, about her experience with post-natal depression.
If you're struggling a bit, you can check out the great resources at
Panda.org.au and
Howisdadgoing.org.au. You can also always talk to someone at lifeline 24/7 - 13 11 14. Dads need care too.
