The nurses were keeping an eye on both me and my partner for PPD in our post-birth appointments, so I'm guessing that means it's something that affects everyone. I don't know what PPDD is. Google just gives me back PPD.
I was also only thinking of parenting as the part where you take care of a child. Everything else around that is parenthood to me. I can see parenthood stuff being sometimes more gender specific, especially when it comes to things like social expectations.
