Celebrities Open About Their Mental Illness Struggles

Hayden Panettiere: Postpartum Depression

New mother Hayden Panettiere has recently been open about the side effects she experienced after giving birth to her daughter Kaya. During an appearance on Live! with Kelly and Michael, she said, "I can very much relate. It’s something a lot of women experience. When [you’re told] about postpartum depression you think it’s ‘I feel negative feeling towards my child, I want to injure or hurt my child.’ I’ve never, ever had those feelings. Some women do. But you don’t realize how broad of a spectrum you can really experience that on. It’s something that needs to be talked about. Women need to know they’re not alone and that it does heal."
