Abstract
Specialists have been discussing for many years about gender effects on the psychopathology of depression. Despite decades of research on perinatal depression in women, it is still possible to get mpression that we know too little about this mental disorder in the perinatal period. In addition, it turns out that a similar clinical phenomenon can also affect men (who will or have been recently fathers). In this area there are few reports of the consequences of depression in father. They emphasize the significant impact of disease not only on live of adult family members, but also perhapsespecially on physical and emotional development of newborn child. The purpose of the article is to describe the perinatal depression in fathers, as it appears in daily clinical practice. The results of a few reports describing perinatal depression of men tend to be poorly understood disorder and therefore requiring further research.
