Been doing some research and re-reading about Postpartum Depression and Postpartum PSYCHOSIS. During her postpartum she kept telling me she had depression and I would tell her it was psychosis and she needed to see someone. She refused to see a doctor, went on Anti-depressants and that was it.
Now that I am rewinding, I realize that 90% of her behavior - the paranoia, the extreme rage and anger, hallucinations, night sweats, lethargy, abusive behavior, negative thoughts towards kids, etc. are all signs of postpartum psyhcosis. When she would have rage fits, as soon as she was done she would return to normal quickly and acted as if nothing had happened.
Assuming that she did have postpartum psychosis - and they say if it's not treated in can recur later in life (which seems the case) - should I try and correct my mistake and get her to see a doctor now? Or is that just inviting more confrontation?
