Postpartum depression
Dear Sir, Hope you are perfectly well and fine. We became proud parents for a baby boy in Dec2019 but since pregnancy till now, wife is suffering from some sorts of psychological issues which looks like postpartum or similar. 1- She becomes very angry at sometimes resulting in Violent behaviour. 2- Sometimes becomes very weak and keep on crying. 3- Sometimes become very anxious for some issues. 4- Sometimes feel as if she is left alone in whole world. It's becoming a problem day by day and I think It needs some kind of medical treatment. Because of such issues even the martial relationship is becoming affected by many conflicts from both sides.

These are significant markers of post partum blues. The physical and mental stress the body goes through during pregnancy causes these to appear. You have to take the added responsibility of mother and the child. A happy and passionate environment would help both of you to cope up with this.

Consult a psychiatrist to start with medications that would releive her from depressive mood and anger outburst.

Couple Counselling sessions would help in improving the bonding between you and wife.

The Postpartum Period During the postpartum period, about 85% of women experience some type of mood disturbance. For most the symptoms are mild and short-lived; however, 10 to 15% of women develop more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. Postpartum psychiatric illness is typically divided into three categories: (1) postpartum blues (2) postpartum depression and (3) postpartum psychosis. Postpartum Blues It appears that about 50 to 85% of women experience postpartum blues during the first few weeks after delivery. Given how common this type of mood disturbance is, it may be more accurate to consider the blues as a normal experience following childbirth rather than a psychiatric illness.  Postpartum Depression PPD typically emerges over the first two to three postpartum months but may occur at any point after delivery. The symptoms of postpartum depression include: Depressed or sad mood Tearfulness Loss of interest in usual activities Feelings of guilt Feelings of worthlessness or incompetence Fatigue Sleep disturbance Change in appetite Poor concentration Suicidal thoughts Postpartum psychosis is the most severe form of postpartum psychiatric illness. It is a rare event that occurs in approximately 1 to 2 per 1000 women after childbirth. Its presentation is often dramatic, with onset of symptoms as early as the first 48 to 72 hours after delivery. The majority of women with puerperal psychosis develop symptoms within the first two postpartum weeks.
