To All The Dads With Depression And Anxiety... | Joy Lab Podcast [ep. 153]

#depression #mentalhealthpodcast #mentalhealthmatters
Read this carefully: children of fathers with mild depressive symptoms or anxiety tend to have fewer behavioral difficulties and higher IQs. Yup. We'll talk a bit about the research here, but we want to emphasize the huge benefits of acknowledging and sharing mental health struggles with those close to us. Yes, that means emotional openness is a parenting strength. That means parents and adults can model how to navigate tough emotions in such a way that builds personal growth and enhanced resilience in both themselves and the kids around them. This episode goes out to all the dads, but it's really true for all of us.
