Group cognitive behavioural therapy for depression in new fathers
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether group cognitive behavioural therapy (a type of talk therapy that helps change negative thoughts and behaviours) can help fathers who are feeling depressed or anxious during the perinatal period (from pregnancy to when the baby is 18 months old). If you're an expectant or new dad struggling with these feelings, this therapy might offer support and coping skills.
