34. John Legend’s Partner Struggled With Postpartum Depression
Chrissy Teigen is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and television host. She also experienced a severe bout of depression after the birth of her and John’s first child. While “baby blues” may be a regular occurrence following giving birth, full-blown depression can dramatically impact the well-being of both the mother and child.
Teigen’s postpartum depression was so severe that she was unable to bring herself to go upstairs to go to bed. Instead, she would stay inside for days at a time, sleeping on the couch and refusing to get dressed. She has since received treatment and has been open about her diagnosis, though she does not want any sympathy or attention for her depression. The famous model wants people to be willing to get help.
