5 things to do to help your patner

These things may seem obvious but when you are worried and stressed you often forget the simple things that you can do

1. Find out about the illness, in order to understand what is happening to your partner you need to know as much about the illness as you can
2. Talk to your partner about how you are both feeling, the guilt that a woman with PND can have about what she is doing to her partner can be enormous so tell her the truth and talk about how to make it better
3. Encourage your partner to use whatever resources you can find to help, try to ensure that she has time away from the baby even if you have to force her
4. Talk to someone you trust about how you feel
5. Be patient as it will get better.
