Hayden Panettiere recently opened up about her struggles with alcohol and postpartum depression after giving birth to her daughter in 2014.

I wish I knew about postpartum depression. I wish I knew to look out for it, Panettiere said in an interview with E! News published Friday. The actor added that she didnt know of anyone whod had it and had never heard any stories about it, at all.

I just thought there was something seriously wrong with me, so I thought, you know, Fireball will fix this duh. And it didnt, the actor said. You know, it does for a moment, but then it makes everything worse.

I wish somebody told me that that was a possibility, like, told me its OK if you birth your child and youre not immediately like, Oh my god, I love you more than anything in the entire world right now! she said. Its OK and not abnormal if it comes out and its a blob, and youre like, Oh my gosh, this is like a crazy little creation that Im going to love when I get to know you.

About 1 in 8 women who give birth experience symptoms of postpartum depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and experts say it often goes undiagnosed. Symptoms of postpartum depression, which are similar to those of depression, can also include withdrawing from loved ones, experiencing an inability to connect with your child, and doubting your abilities as a mom, according to the CDC.
