She said in an interview with Zoom, “Unfortunately, the term depression is often misused by some people. They are just like, ‘Oh, she’s sad’. But she’s dealing with a painful delivery, painful recovery, a hormonal crash and an emotional crash. She’s feeding a baby and taking care of a human being. It’s not just about taking care of the baby. Sometimes that’s the easy part, and the woman is going through much more.”
