Biopsychosocial Causes of Postnatal Depression

Just give her all you got. Love her and let her know you love her. I had postpardium depression with my son 2 1/2 years ago and I still am not the same. It happens to a lot of woman. I had it so bad I can't remember my son's first three months. Just support her no matter what and help her when ever you can. Being through pregnancy and being a new mother is the hardest thing I have ever been through. I finally had to go on medication to help me through it. Maybe you should talk to her ob Doctor and see what he/she says. Your wife may need some help. My husband didn't help me much because he really didn't believe in postpardium depression. My mom helped me more than anyone and without her I would have lost my mind. Take care of your wife and try to understand that this is hard for her more than you will ever know. Take care and I hope she is feeling better very soon. And congratulations on the new baby.

It's caused by hormonal changes. I think the placenta is to blame for that. Codysmommy had good advice.
