Voice 2: But one thing is sure. Depressed fathers do have an effect on their children. Paul Ramchandani led the British study. He says that depression in mothers often affects both daughters and sons. But depression in fathers has a greater effect on sons. Sons of depressed fathers are more likely to have behavioral problems.
聲音2:但有一件事是肯定的。抑郁的父親確實對他們的孩子產生影響。保羅·拉姆昌達尼領導了這項英國研究。他表示,母親的抑郁癥往往對女兒和兒子都有影響。但父親的抑郁對兒子的影響更大。如果父親抑郁,兒子更有可能出現行為問題。
Voice 1: Why is this? Well, depressed fathers may not spend as much time with their children as they should. That was the case in this next story. A father who suffered from postpartum depression tells of his experience:
聲音1:為什么會這樣?抑郁的父親可能沒有花足夠多的時間陪孩子。下一個故事就是這樣。一位患有產后抑郁癥的父親講述了他的經歷:
Voice 3: "As a first-time father I wanted to be able to take care of our new baby and my wife, as well as look after the finances and work... Basically, I wanted to look after everyone and everything. Except I did not take care of myself."
聲音3:“第一次做父親的我希望能夠照顧我們的新生兒和我的妻子,同時也能照顧經濟和工作……基本上,我想顧好每個人和每件事。只是我沒有照顧好自己。”
"A turning point for me was when I held our little baby and just started crying. I had been keeping away from our little girl because I did not want her to see that I was weak and depressed. Holding her close, letting go of everything, and just being me, helped me to be the father I am today."
“當我抱著我們的小寶寶開始哭泣時,這對我來說是一個轉折點。我一直在遠離我們的女兒,因為我不想讓她看到我的軟弱和沮喪。抱緊她,放下一切,做我自己,這幫助我成為今天的父親。”
"You do not have to be strong as a rock. Express yourself and do not keep things inside. My whole experience of depression as a new young father was the most difficult thing in my life. But it was also a gift because it opened my eyes, soul, and heart."
“你不一定要堅如磐石。表達自己,不要把事情藏在心里。作為年輕的新父親,我的整個抑郁癥經歷是我一生中最艱難的事情。但這也是一份禮物,因為它打開了我的眼界、靈魂和心靈。”
