Possibly: It's possible to get depression 24 months after having a baby but most people wouldn't call it postpartum depression and would just label it as depression. I would recommend talking to your doctor about this.

Occurs earlier: Most often PPD present in the first 3-4 months, but can occur anytime in the first postpartum year. Likely at 24 months, it would be diagnosed as a depression but not postpartum. However, with that said, there are exceptions.. Such as a case in which if you have been breastfeeding and then suddenly wean at 24 months and symptoms of PPD present. In that case, i would probably call it ppd.

Maybe: Most importantly, if you are having symptoms of depression, you must be seen and properly evaluated. Please do not take chances. Good luck.
