Post partum depression often doesn't just "pass", it can develop into psychosis. OP needs help, not trivialisation of a very serious problem: please keep quiet when you don't know what you're talking about.
Not now, but I did once way back, and she subsequently developed post partum depression after her second and third child were born. I feel sorry for your wife if you believe it will just "pass" and I hope she's getting real and professional support elsewhere.
She did go to get help but they just tried to give her SSRIs. I dont want her taking those because shes breastfeeding. I grew up on all kinds of pills and thats prolly why im so fucked up. We just talk about it and a reinforce positive thinking. Usually its something in particular shes upset about like worrying about not being a good mom. I reassure her shes a great mom. Thats more than I feel the doctors did for her. The doctor wont pick up the phone in the middle of the night but I will.
I look at my baby and feel nothing
