Jane the Virgin has an episode involving post-partum depression in men, but it's really only taken seriously by the one character, who is extremely over-the-top and thus discreditable.

It always interests me how people insist that typical post-partum depression relates to hormonal changes related to pregnancy and delivery, and thus can't be experienced by the other parent/anyone else. And yet we know that Couvade syndrome is a thing that can cause non-pregnant people to undergo those same hormonal changes. So why would the impact of those hormonal and bodily changes stop the second that the baby is delivered?
