PPD is not a buzz word. It is a very real thing. I had it after all my children. Even ending up in the psych ward once. Please don't laugh and poke fun at women who are truely hurting after having children. You don't know how bad it can be till you have walked in their shoes.

i know this has nothing to do with the story, but her hair looks so good shorter!! and i'm glad she is ok now.

7:08 You are fortunate that your experiences after the births of your 2 children did not spiral into PPD. Many moms have some sort of the "baby blues" after childbirth. A smaller number have post partum depression which goes beyond the general discombobulated feelings. They key with PPD is that it lasts longer and the feelings are more pronounced. You literally feel like you are in a black hole. I had the baby blues with my first and PPD with my second. Luckily I responded well to a short course of medication and did not need treatment after my third. Yes childbirth is natural and the feelings that come along with it are natural, but it is crucial for this society to recognize that PPD is also very real and left untreated, some women can find themselves in a heap of trouble.
SO, just because you did not experience PPD, certainly does not mean that others did not as well. It's that kind of dismissal and the "it's all in your head" mentality that prohibits some ladies from seeking treatment.

To 7:08, there is definitely PPD. My mom had it 22 years ago with my sister and in fact she stayed longer in the hospital because of how bad she fell. She didn't want to eat, hold my baby sister, or do anything to get better. We had 2 people helping out at the house and my mom did not get any better until some months later.

PPD does not affect everyone and it doesn't matter if you have all the help in the world. When depression hits, it hits, there is no discrimination amongst people who have money or not.

Amen 7:08.

Oh give me a break, post partum depression? Everyone has to slap a label on everything these days. I had two kids, and yeah, I felt a little weird for the first few weeks after each one. I was weepy because my hormones had been in overdrive creating a child, I was tired because my sleep cycles were interrupted to care for the baby, generally I was not myself. But I didn't blame it on some made up buzz word. Childbirth is the most natural thing in the world, and it does wreak havoc on our systems. That's why doctors recommend six to eight weeks off work after, so your body can readjust itself.

These celebrities have no clue about reality. They have 24-hour help at their beck and call and can afford to go to quacks to diagnose fake ailments and give them with the latest fad treatments. If all the regular folk in this world had as much post partum depression and every other ailment celebrities have we'd all be in rubber rooms.

Please get over it Gwen. Do you have a movie to promote? Life is a
b-i-t-c-h! Join the real world and have to work for a living and worry about making ends meet. You are married to a very wealthy man and you make lots of money from movies and Estee Lauder and you are stressed? Give me a break!

Sounds like some jealous little b*tches are posting here. Grow up and get lives, coz you're obviously miserable.

I don't understand why anyone hires Gwyneth anymore. She's only going to trash the movie when it comes out and doesn't do well at the box office. It'll be one of those movies where she did it for the money. And she'll be the first one to say it.

LOL, very good Grossman! I'll cancel mine as well!!
