FAQs

What Is Dad Psych?

Dad Psych is a weekly newsletter for new dads, first-time fathers, and dads-to-be who aren’t sure what to expect. Every Wednesday, we break down research about what’s going on in your head during pregnancy and what to expect for the next few years.

Who Is Dad Psych For?

If you’re a new dad, first-time father, or soon-to-be dad wondering “What the hell is happening to me?” Dad Psych is for you. We cover the psychological rollercoaster from pregnancy through your kid’s early years.

What Kind Of Stuff Does Dad Psych Cover?

We dig into legit psychological research on dad-related stuff like pre-baby anxiety, identity crises, relationship shifts, and sudden emotional explosions (tearing up during a nappy commercial is real). We keep it research-backed but readable—and occasionally ridiculous.

Do You Give Parenting Tips?

Nope. You won’t find any ‘How to Dad’ guides here. We focus on you—what’s going on in your brain, why your emotions are all over the place, and how becoming a dad changes you as a person. Parenting tips? Not our vibe.

How Often Will I Get The Dad Psych Newsletter?

Once a week, every Wednesday. Each issue is a 5-minute read packed with one or two stories based on real psychological research. Think “science, but make it relatable.” Plus, it’s free—so why not?

Is Dad Psych Based On Actual Science?

Yep! We only use solid, accredited sources like Springer, NCBI, and peer-reviewed research. Then we translate that science-speak into something you can actually read (without a PhD). No fluff—just facts, explained.

Is Dad Psych Serious Or Funny?

Both. We take mental health seriously but refuse to be boring. Expect sharp insights mixed with bad memes, occasional swearing, and the kind of dark humour only sleep-deprived dads understand.
