35. A Former Calvin Klein Model Suffered Postpartum Depression
Brooke Shields was another quintessential child star who, like Drew Barrymore, experienced severe depression while she was in the public limelight. She has been candid about her painful experiences growing up, but she has most recently become an advocate for new mothers experiencing postpartum depression.
Following the birth of her baby girl, Shields nearly jumped out of her fourth-story window. After that harrowing experience, she began seeking treatment for post-partum depression so that she could provide the best care possible to her infant daughter. Since then, many more women have come forward to acknowledge that they, too, have struggled with the same diagnosis.
