Purpose: This study aimed to comprehensively review the experiences of postpartum depression in men.

Results: Four themes emerged as a result of synthesizing: “Frustration stemming from excessive responsibility as a father”, “Life of mine being tied to child-rearing”, “Suppression of emotions due to gender role stereotypes”, and “Communication interruption with wife due to marital conflict”.
Conclusion: The results of this study provided a deeper understanding of the experiences of postpartum depression in men, and can help establish prevention program and arrang social support for postpartum depression in men.
