Anything I can do for my friend with severe post -partum depression? I asked something similar to this before but it has gotten progressively worse.  She may need to be re-admitted to the hospital.  Her husband wants me to take her out of the house for an hour or so but every time I try she will not come out to the car and is very stubborn.  She could not even handle me being in her house for over 15 minutes--she thought I had come to kill her and the baby.  She is paranoid to go out in public, she thinks everybody is out to get her and hurt the kids.  I am at wits end as her friend.  I have been praying for her a lot.  I don't know what else to do.  I talked to her husband and he still insists that I come over and just physically remove her and put her in the car to take her out.  A grown woman!  I am not about to do that but I don't know what else to do.  She can't handle visits from people coming over either.

Summarized question: What are the treatments to cure severe post-partum depression that has progressively got worse?
