Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Please do not worry much about Postpartum depression (PPD). It normally is of very short duration and the given medicine is enough. Once your wife starts taking care of child and other household chorus, Postpartum depression (PPD) slowly diminishes and vanish. Now it also becomes your duty to encourage her to work and take responsibility.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
