But so many like this that scream postpartum depression are especially depressing. If your wife has just given birth, be aware of this very often serious potential side effect.
Greeley, Colo. (1917)
01/19/1917: Mother shot her five children to death including
an infant, then herself. Her suicide note
accused her husband of infidelity. Neighbors
and friends “declared that they knew of no grounds for the charges… They added that Mrs. Crozier had been acting
strangely of late, and recently chased a neighbor woman with a butcher-knife.”
Category: family
Suicide: yes

It may have been the wind howling for days on end rather than post partum depression. I have experience with that. Perhaps a combination.
