PTSD from post partum wife?

Therapy could definitely be beneficial for you. Take time to relax. You have to remember it is hard (life is hard) and it won't last forever. You made a commitment to marry her, have a child with her, and raise that child with her, right?

In marriage it is give and take. Sometimes once spouse needs to give more temporarily while the other spouse is having a hard time, and vice versa.

PPD isn't a woman's fault. She isn't to blame. Going through pregnancy, birth, recovery (all of the hormones!) Is something men can't fully understand.

I have been through it three times. I know it was hard on my spouse and I appreciate him being strong and sticking by me! We need our partner to be there for us!
