LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Hayden Panettiere did not expect the outpouring of positive support following her decision to seek treatment for postpartum depression. Going public, she said, actually made her life "better."
Speaking with E! News at the Critics' Choice Awards Sunday night, the 26-year-old actress, who recently welcomed her first child with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, said, "It made my life better...I do feel and hope it's made other people's lives better and more of an understanding because postpartum depression was not something that I ever understood."
