  • Fathers who took five to 13 weeks or more than 40 weeks of leave did not show reduced depression compared to those who took up to four weeks.
  • Dr. Michael Wells explained that taking leave beyond 90 days but not more than 60% of the total leave may improve fathers' mental health by helping them build closer connections and routines.
