Houston-area couple and national TV personalities Adam and Danielle Busby have captured the hearts of America with their TLC show "OutDaughtered."

However, season three of the show has focused on more than just the struggles that come with raising quintuplets.

Adam has decided to open up about his struggles with postpartum depression.

This season the father of six publicly spoke about having postpartum depression in hopes that he would be able to help someone else.

"After coming face to face with postpartum depression following the birth of our five daughters, I quickly learned that this is a very real struggle that dads all around the world go through, yet you rarely ever hear it talked about," he told PEOPLE magazine. "I'd be doing an extreme disservice to our fans if I hid this from the public and wasn't honest with them."

People from around the world are offering him support and words of wisdom as Busby moves forward to start therapy and work through his depression.

"Just watched your episode in the uk. YOU ARE FAR FROM WEAK," said one person. "Your family must be so proud speaking out to help others as well . You've done amazing . @adambuzz keeping doing this for all your girls."

Another person said, "watching tonight's episode of out daughtered and WOW... what an amazing father you have. I am just watching in awe! With the people you have in your corner, there isn't anything you can't overcome... I really hope you are feeling better!"

According to WebMD, at least one in 10 new fathers experiences postpartum depression and — unlike in female depression — male postpartum can have a negative effect on the child's development.

Infants who have fathers going through depression have a much smaller vocabulary than those who don't because there is less verbal interaction.

Like Busby, the best thing men suffering with postpartum depression can do is open up about it and seek help.

In a sneak peek video, Busby went to Nashville to speak with another father who struggled with depression and when asked about therapy he said, "I don't know if I'm ready for that."

However, by the end of the video he seems to have reluctantly come around to the idea for the sake of his family.

""I know I owe it to my wife and I owe it to my kids, but talking to a therapist is going to be a huge deal," he says. "It's going to be a long road, and once you start, there's no turning back."
