Thank for asking. I can completely understand your worry. From your complaints it appears very likely that she is facing stress in her life. Even if there are no obvious issues noted about her married life, in general a change of home, new role responsibilities, new relations, etc puts lot of strain onto an individuals coping abilities. One tends to get depressed when the stress is overwhelming and exceeds his/her coping capacity to deal with it. Hostility, not sharing the problem, loss of interest in pleasurable activities, remaining aloof and alone, irritability, etc are some of the symptoms of depression. In severe cases suicidal thoughts can occur. Because there is hopelessness(characteristic of depressive illness), the individual believes that sharing a problem to family member won't make any good.
My suggestions:
Take her out of the stressful environment.
Dont put pressure on her about revealing the issues or problem.
Try to act as if things are normal.
Try to give her hope that everything will be okay.
DO not be judgemental.
Ask her if she can consider a counselling session or meet a therapist.
If there are serious thought of suicide, in that case immediately contact a nearby Psychiatrist.
Do not worry. What ever problem is there there is a solution it.
Hope you find this helpful.
