As a husband, how do I know if my wife is experiencing post partum depression? Are there physical signs of this? Thank you

Dear user, thank you for your entry. Postpartum depression is defined as a major depressive episode during pregnancy or in the first 4 weeks post partum. Some symptoms include low mood, poor sleep, feelings of guilty and lethargy. A self-scoring tool may be helpful like Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) https://www.healthhub.sg/programmes/183/parent-hub/depression-scale. For further advice, do seek a medical professional for assessment.
