Postpartum Depression...and Brooke Shields

http://depressionsymptoms.net/brooke-shields/

"In the eyes of others, she seemed to have it all: a happy marriage, ageless beauty, world fame, fortune, and by age 38, a beautiful baby girl. There was one detail, however, unknown to outsiders: Brooke Shields’s struggle with depression."

"Brooke Shields’s struggle with depression was boggled with symptoms of shame, helplessness, despair, and reclusiveness."

"Worst of all were the disturbing visions that haunted Brooke. She kept visualizing her infant daughter flying through the air until hitting a wall and sliding down it. Although she did not visualize herself committing this violent act against Rowan, the visions were still disturbing to her."

"Unable to bear postpartum depression any further, Brooke sought treatment for her disorder. She decided to take an antidepressant drug called Paxil, along with therapy."

"Times have improved for Brooke Shields. She’s no longer struggling with postpartum depression."
