Hayden Panettiere seeks treatment for postpartum depression
Quote:
Hayden Panettiere has checked into a treatment facility for battling postpartum depression following the birth of her first child, Kaya, her rep confirms to Us Weekly.
That's very strange that her life is paralleling her character's at the moment, but I'm really glad that she's seeking treatment and help. I can only wish that her character does the same on the show, it's so sad to watch.
I really hope she gets better. I have severe PTSD from my two tours in Afghanistan so I know how it feels to have it and how dangerous one can get if you don't seek treatment immediately. Her case is more severe though. My mom had a friend who got PTSD from having birth and she wanted to drown her daughter a few weeks after. They ended up taking her away from her so it's great that she's seeking treatment right away.
