Difficulties in communication have been associated with fathers' perceived lack of support for mothers suffering postnatal depression (PND). This paper investigates why the communication of the experience of PND is so difficult and considers how these difficulties might be linked in part to the diagnostic process. The study explores, through in depth interviews, how sick australian couples talked about the new mothers' experience of mild to moderate PND. Framing, analysis revealed discrepancies in the couples explanations of the mothers' PND. The application of the concept of framing has come to the study of mental health by way of goffman's work on how experience becomes organised. Goffman used the technique of frame analysis to identify and describe the taken for granted sociocultural elements that give meaning to a stiuation. This study dientified that mothers and fathers used different frames, with mothers understanding their postnatal experience primarily from within an identity frame and fathers understanding the mothers' experience primarily through a psychological or physical hardship frame. Implication for health service providers are considered.
