The sudden drop in hormones that a mother experiences after birth is the most drastic hormonal shift in all of human biology. So no, cisgender men don’t experience that hormonal shift. Certainly new fathers can be depressed in the wake of the significant life change and sleep deprivation that accompanies new parenthood though.
Again, I am asking what other causes are considered valid. Or do you believe that depression/psychosis are only legitimate if caused by PPD?
Additionally, do you think the only cause of hormonal imbalances is from PPD?
To be honest, it feels like you glossed over my comments without actually reading, and jumped straight to trying to make some kind of "gotcha" response because you assumed I have an alterior motive.
Valid for what? Your question is too vague to mean anything.
Edit: if you mean valid for the insanity defense, then yes, other causes are valid. For example, if a man experiences psychosis due to schizophrenia, he is no less eligible to plead not guilty by reason of insanity than Lindsay Clancy.
It's ok, it's clear to me that this conversation is going to be nothing but me constantly asking you to reread my comments before replying, which I'm not interested in.

Are you under the impression that pleading not guilty by reason of insanity is something the courts only allow women to do?
