“I have always had anxiety attacks, but my anxiety manifests as depression and I am extremely depressed when it happens to me. My brain is like a hamster in a wheel that cannot stop. But I’ve been trying to handle this forever, ”she said.
Worse and worse
But for Reese Witherspoon, the psychological issues really started when she became a mom. The actress has three children, Ava, 20, and Deacon, 16, born of her union with Ryan Philippe, and Tennessee, 7, with husband Jim Toth. “After each child I experienced something different. With one child, I had mild postpartum depression, and with another, depression so severe that I had to stay on medication because I could not think normally. And with one of my children I didn't have depression at all, ”she added.

"I think that hormones are not studied and understood enough. I spent my time asking my doctors for answers but there is not enough research on what is going on in the body of women and hormonal changes, we do not take them seriously enough. I have a lot of compassion for the women who are going through this, ”she concluded.
