This CNN Article entitled "Depressed Dads More Likely To Spank" reveals that men who endorse symptoms of depression are four times more likely to spank their children than men who are not depressed. What are some ways that society could reduce the stigma of receiving mental health treatment and encourage men to seek help? How could fathers prepare before their children are born to deal with the emotional stress of fatherhood (e.g., sleepless nights, crying, etc.)?
