Discussion Board: Postpartum Depression

Overview

Back in 2005, there was a debate between scientologist and actor Tom Cruise and actress Brooke Shields. Brooke Shields was very open about her use of Paxil and therapy to combat the postpartum depression she experienced after delivering her first child in 2003. During a controversial interview on the Today show, host Matt Lauer asked Tom Cruise about his views on the topic.

The postpartum period refers to the weeks following delivery. According to the American Psychiatric Association, about 70% of new mothers have periods of tearfulness, sadness, and irritability, which the Association refers to as the "baby blues."
