Nashville actress Hayden Panettiere has checked into treatment on May 12, 2016 for the second time in order to work on her battle with postpartum depression. On Twitter, she posted: "The postpartum depression I have been experiencing has impacted every aspect of my life. Rather than stay stuck due to unhealthy coping mechanism I have chosen to take time to reflect holistically on my health and life. Wish me luck!"
She has also been very open with her ongoing struggle in the past and made the following statement on Live! With Kelly and Michael during her September 2015 appearance: "There's a lot of misunderstanding, and there's a lot of people out there that think that it's not real, that it's not true, that it's something that's made up in their minds, you know, it's hormones. They brush it off. It's something that's completely uncontrollable. And it's really painful, and it's really scary, and women need a lot of support."
These public figures used their platform for good by addressing the hard truths of this debilitating illness.
Her first time seeking professional help was back in October of last year. Our thoughts and praises go to her in choosing to find healing in her disease!
