Gwyneth Paltrow in the new issue of US magazine discusses dealing with post-partum depression after the birth of her son Moses.

“I didn’t know I had it until after it was over,” the actress, 35, says. “I just didn’t know what was wrong with me.”

She suspects her depression stemmed from scaling back on her usual pre-baby treatments like acupuncture.

“I felt really out of my body,” Paltrow says after giving birth. “I felt really disconnected. I felt really down … I felt pessimistic.â€?

I think it’s great Paltrow is speaking out now about her PPD.  It is good for mothers to hear from celebs like Paltrow and Brooke Shields about their battles with this common depression.
