Is having a new child associated with increased antidepressant treatment in men? JAMANetworkOpen ucl child antidepressant depression mentalhealth mensmentalhealth menshealth father fatherhood postpartumdepression
By Neha MathurJun 2 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent article published in JAMA Network Open, researchers conducted a cohort study in the United Kingdom among men aged 15 to 55 to determine whether recent fatherhood was associated with an increased inclination to seek antidepressant treatment.
In the first year after childbirth, i.e., the postnatal period, some men might also have to manage additional work and financial stress. Studies have also shown an association between paternal and maternal mental health post-birth of a child. Upon diagnosis, GPs also initiate antidepressant treatment. During consultations, they gather patient-level information, including their demographics, lifestyle, diseases, etc., which they save in IMRD.

They followed up with all participants at risk of exposure from the index date to their first antidepressant drug prescription or the end of one year. The team conducted the study analyses between January 2022 and March 2023 and repeated them after covering the comparison and study cohorts as variables.
Overall, 5.5% of fathers and 7.5% of men in the comparison group had some history of antidepressant treatment. Indeed, previous antidepressant treatment and social deprivation were key determinants associated with antidepressant treatment in the first year after having a child. Even after accounting for all contributing factors, a history of antidepressant treatment remained strongly correlated to receiving an antidepressant treatment prescription after having a child.
