Read about actress Reese Witherspoon’s struggle with postpartum depression after the birth of each of her three kids and the actions she wishes society would take to normalize the topic.
Many moms experience postpartum depression, and in recent years, to normalize the topic, more and more women have been speaking out about their experiences—including celebrities. Reese Witherspoon is adding her name to the list, as she candidly spoke about her postpartum experiences in a recent interview with fellow actress Jameela Jamil., Witherspoon, 44, spoke about how she’s been dealing with depression and anxiety pretty much all her life and began therapy when she was 16.
Witherspoon has two kids with ex Ryan Phillipe, daughter Ava, 20, and son, Deacon, 16, as well as a son Tennessee, 7, with husband Jim Toth. She explained that she was “completely out of control” after giving birth to her first kid. Witherspoon explained that her mother, who worked as a pediatric nurse for over three decades and has always been open about topics concerning mental health, was working in a different state and wasn’t able to be with her during her postpartum period. She didn’t have, at the time, “the type of communication we have now.”
