Postpartum depression isn't just something new moms can struggle with — studies show new dads can also be affected.
In the United States, about 1 in 7 women experiences postpartum depression — but more awareness is being brought to men, who can also experience the mental health condition associated with intense feelings of sadness, anxiety and exhaustion.
"We had to have awareness about postpartum depression in women, then postpartum anxiety disorder in women, and now postpartum depression in men, which is a real thing in about 10% of men," CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook said on "CBS Mornings Plus" Tuesday.
