Hayden Panettiere has entered a facility to get treatment for postpartum depression, her rep confirms.
The Nashville actress won the praise of moms everywhere by talking about her struggle with postpartum depression on Live With Kelly and Michael last month. In a statement released to US Magazine, her rep said “Hayden Panettiere is voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment centre as she is currently battling postpartum depression. She asks that the media respect her privacy during this time.”

Panettiere’s character on her TV show Nashville is also experiencing PPD.
Last month the mom of 10-month old daughter Kaya Evodokia told Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan that when it comes to postpartum depression, “There’s a lot of misunderstanding. 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, that ‘Oh, it’s hormones.’ They brush it off. It’s something that’s completely uncontrollable. It’s really painful and it’s really scary and women need a lot of support.”
Hayden, we applaud you for being brave and putting a famous face to this serious condition so many women are blindsided by when they enter motherhood. All the best to you and prayers for your recovery and your little family!
