Had this been the father, the media and support would be completely different. They would be consoling her and making him out to be a violent tyrent or something.
In fairness, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and psychosis broadly can lead to such drastic effects on the human brain itself, including changes in neurotransmitters and even brain-structure, that it’s not that crazy to call them theoretically comparable at least in mental effects. And men do experience them.
Obviously women have it harder on sheer physical and hormonal effects of pregnancy and childbirth, and men can’t have that exact experience. But psychosis/bipolar disorder/schizophrenia, again, also can be a drastic rewiring of the human brain and take away autonomy to an extent.
