Overview

Offering hope and illumination, the bone-raw story of a father’s failure to bond with his infant twin daughters, and his journey through paternal depression—an often undiagnosed condition that affects millions of new fathers.

After a traumatic birth nearly claimed his wife’s life, anesthesiologist and intensive care physician Christopher Choukalas should have felt grateful. His twin daughters were healthy, his wife had survived, and they had started a family. But instead of joy, Choukalas found himself spiraling—spending long evenings in the garage, unable to face the chaos and emotional strain inside his home. Caught between caring for his wife, deciphering the needs of his newborns, and confronting painful childhood memories, his world began to unravel.

Despite clear signs—racing thoughts, anxiety, sleeplessness, panic attacks, and emotional distance from his children—Choukalas failed to recognize he was suffering from a serious condition. Like many men, he internalized his pain, hoping it was just the “baby blues” and would fade with time.

His turning point came when his wife, exhausted with his behavior and “checked-outness,” urged him to seek help. Even though he’s a doctor, he had missed the fact that he ticked off every symptom of paternal depression. Through intensive therapy, medication, and the support of a fathers’ group, Choukalas began to understand his need for control and the lingering hurt from his own father’s absence. Slowly, he rebuilt his connection with his wife and children and found healing.

Even the Darkest Night, Choukalas’s powerful memoir, sheds light on the hidden struggles of fatherhood. With raw honesty and emotional insight, it challenges the silence and stigma surrounding men’s mental health, especially in the early years of parenting. A much-needed voice and new understanding for fathers navigating love, identity, and healing in the shadows of expectation.
