I was married last year.Im having a 4 months kid .My wife was very affectionate to me and so was I.After she getting pregnant she started to feel insecure,started complaining that I would hate her after the baby is born.She was very depressed inspite of me explaning things. She doesn't like when I try to pick my baby for a while.Im very affectionate for her as always but she wouln't believe me. She is crying day by day and recently she is saying that she will commit sucide and often she is scratching her hands with a knife trying to commit sucide. She behaves normally at some point of time but after a while she repeats the same.Off late her thoughts have become more worse that she doesn't like even if Im speaking to parents. She feels insecure and says that I will hate her slowly and leave her alone at some point. I have spoke to her thousand times and explained things.I'm very concerned for her. I dont know what to do? Please help me.Should I consult a psychiatrist if so which doctor?

It sounds as if she's suffering from a serious post-partum depression. She needs to speak to her doctor about getting some help for this, before she seriously hurts herself. During her pregnancy, her hormones were completely unbalanced, which could be why this started then. Post-partum depression isn't an abnormal thing, but for some women it's more serious than others.

She is having postpartum depression or other stress about this young relationship of yours and the baby and her roles which have changed. It's all finally hit her and she needs to see a doctor before this gets worse. Why have you allowed her to try even what you might think are flimsy suicide attempts? She is telling you something and if you care, you should pay attention and take her to the doctor. She is probably not crazy, but needs this taken care of so she can properly adjust to the newer roles in her life and be a good happy wife and mother again. She might feel she has lost who she was before marriage and pregnancy. It happens to lots of women and rarely do they be that way again if it is properly treated and she is not mistreated at home or in life.

Your wife is having post partum depression, which is normally seen in women after giving birth. Understand and bear with your wife. Continue to show her your love and gently convince her to see a doctor.

It definitely sounds like she needs a psychiatrist ASAP. Anytime a person threatens suicide its considered an emergency. If you don't know a good psychiatrist, speak to her ob/gyny about her symptoms and ask for a referral. Do it now, don't wait for anymore amateur advice.

This could be part of post-partum depression, but if she is suicidal, she needs professional help. Take her to a doctor. SHe will thank you later. Plus, it shouws her you care about her that you want her to feel better.

She may have post partum depression. Yes. you should bring her to a doctor. It can get very dangerous if she's threatening to commit suicide. A psychiatrist can handle it.
