Awareness, knowledge, and attitudes of the Belgian general population towards paternal perinatal depression
Recognition of paternal depression symptoms was relatively low but higher among females, participants with higher education, and those aware of paternal depression. Professional support recommendations were limited, especially among young people and those without children. The terms 'paternal perinatal depression' and 'perinatal mental health' are poorly understood. The findings highlight critical gaps in awareness and attitudes, offering valuabl…

Yet, the employer mothers, besides asking their live-in workers to tend their children, often demand that they also do the daily chores in the home, purposely leav…
