Well, my wife would say that guys go through hormonal changes too -- we are just not as quick to admit it!

In all seriousness, I do think that expecting a baby can be a stressful time -- probably more so for the woman, but also for a guy. Life changes after you have a kid, as you probably already know if it is not your first kid (or you are about to find out if it is...)

While the added responsibility can be stressful, I also found it -- in a strange way -- helpful in overcoming my own anxiety. When I was at my worst (which was pretty bad), one of the things that made me push myself really hard to get past it was the knowledge that I had obligations to my family. If it were just me, I might have given up and crawled into a hole of despair. But I could not do that because my kids depended on having a stable home life, a good income, etc. Sometimes having others depend on you can be a good motivator to do the really hard things that are necessary to get past anxiety (or depression), etc.

If you do go back on some meds, maybe talk with your doc about starting with a very low dose and gradually moving up. I think that sometimes helps with the initial side effects (though I am not an expert).

Good luck. And congratulations on the kid. That is exciting. Even if you are not the mom....
