I appreciate your concern and asking on health care magic.
Pregnancy is a stressful period and can aggravate already existing mental problems. As you mentioned she is on antidepressants, the symptoms can range from low mood, irritability ,weeping spells, decreased energy in body, difficulty coping routine, social withdrawal, decreased interest in life to high risk behaviour such as thoughts of self harm and suicide. I hope you find it helpful.
