I've struggled my whole adult life with depression (I'm 45). I used to blame my problems on my husband but now after counseling I know that simply wasn't true. He could have done everything right and I will would have been depressed. I also discovered after 14 years on the pill that it made my moods worse. They actually began to make me feel quite crazy. I got off those about 6 years ago.

I'm no doctor but based on the facts you've given I think your wife does have depression. I have no idea what happens if it goes untreated because I've been working on mine for 12 years now.
