Hayden Panettiere

Recently "Nashville" star Hayden Panettiere left her home, her fiancé and her 10-month-old baby to seek treatment at a medical clinic for postpartum depression. While the plight of moms dealing with the varying symptoms and degrees of PPD is a common one, many women suffer in silence, believing there is a stigma attached to declaring that they need help or fearing the label "bad mom." When celebrity moms like Panettiere go public with their personal PPD battles, it helps everyone by raising awareness and giving other moms the message that they are not alone. Here are 13 other celebrity moms who have spoken out about their their own struggles with what used to be called the "baby blues."
