Elizabeth BadejoMental health issues can be very difficult to identify in a marital relationship because many of the signs are misinterpreted as unfulfilled expectations in marriage. The realities of mental health usually sets into many marriages when it becomes very worrisome and intolerable. Couples in new marriages are also prone to mental health problems as they are more likely to take necessary issues for granted after saying ‘I do’. This can lead to a mental health concern as the marriage progresses. A new mum can suffer from mental health if she is not getting the support she needs and a new dad can also suffer from mental health if he feels isolated and rejected by his wife, especially if all the attention is directed towards their new baby.
