男性也會得產(chǎn)后抑郁癥？

十分之一的男性在孩子出生前后會受到抑郁癥困擾

　　Men are as likely as women to suffer from postnatal depression, a study shows。

　　一項研究顯示，男性和女性一樣會得產(chǎn)后抑郁癥。

　　One in ten fathers - the same ratio as mothers - were found to suffer before or after birth。

　　研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，十分之一的男性在孩子出生前后會受到抑郁癥困擾，這一比例與女性相同。

　　By the time their child reaches 12 weeks, as many as one in four are feeling down。

　　在孩子滿12周時，多達四分之一的男性會出現(xiàn)情緒低落。

　　The symptoms observed in the American study are not thought to be hormonal - as they are in women - and are instead probably a response to the pressures of fatherhood。

　　這一美國研究所發(fā)現(xiàn)的男性的這些癥狀并非像女性那樣是由體內(nèi)的荷爾蒙引起的，而可能是因為初為人父所帶來的一些壓力。

　　These include the expense of having children, changed relationships with partners and fear of paternal responsibility。

　　這些壓力包括養(yǎng)育孩子的費用、夫妻之間關(guān)系的變化以及對承擔(dān)父親責(zé)任所產(chǎn)生的恐懼。

　　In the early weeks, the lack of sleep and extra domestic chores also take their toll, say mental health experts。

　　心理健康專家說，在最初的幾周內(nèi)，睡眠不足以及新增的家務(wù)活也會產(chǎn)生一定的影響。
