5. Brooke Shields
Instead of enjoying motherhood, model, and actress Brooke Shields suffered from a severe case of postpartum depression in 2003. She came clean about her condition in an effort to help other moms to deal with the horrors of postnatal depression.
She admitted that she had not been aware of her illness after giving birth to her first child, revealing that she was unable to hold, or even look at her baby. Shields also said that she had cried for weeks and believed she made the worst mistake of her life.
Here’s what she said:
I had gone through numerous attempts to have a baby and when I did finally have this perfect, beautiful, healthy baby and it all but destroyed me. I couldn’t hold the baby, I couldn’t do anything for the baby, I couldn’t look at the baby.
She recovered from the illness and is now a happy mom of two.
