Reese Witherspoon Shares How She Navigated Postpartum Depression | E! News

Reese Witherspoon is opening up about her lifelong struggles with depression and anxiety and particularly her mental health battle postpartum. The Morning Show actress had her daughter Eva with ex Ryan Philippy back in 1999. Speaking about her struggles after birth in a Harper’s Bizarre interview November 2nd, Ree says, “It was really bad in the first 6 months. I was simultaneously happy and depressed. I just cried all the time. I was up all night. I was exhausted. It was a hormone drop I didn’t expect, which I experienced right after birth and again when I stopped nursing 6 months later. And the now 49year-old was only 23 years old when she had Eva, adding, “Everyone has an opinion. It’s hard being a young mom and having people tell you how to react, how to give birth, how to nurse, and how to feed your baby. It’s inundating.” But Ree says she was lucky to have the connections and means to get to a mental health specialist, noting many people don’t and struggle on their own and hide it. [Music]
