"nashvil" star checked herself into a facility in october to help treat her postpartum depression, something her character on the abc show also struggled with. life imitating art. >> help me get my life back. >> a source of the show has told us that that story line was developed long before hayden gave birth. the show did give her time, though, to go through the treatment off camerara as her character on camera went through the simir situatation. >> reporter: the first time mom to 1ear-old kaia is just 1 of 600,000 moms across the country diagnosed with this form of depression every year, and she hopes talking openly about it will help break the stigma of the disease. >>he believes that she's going to ba more positive role model for her daughter showing her that she can be a proud, confident woman while admitting what's going on inside. >> i w want to p out a good example for my daughter and tell her that she can be anyone she wants, and she does not have to be afraid that somebody's not going to like it because no

inact, we have a list of the life's most stressful psychological events and, you know, you have things on there like death of a spouse, divorce, pregnancy, birth of a child, that's on that list, that is a significant life stressor, a and we also have to bring -- we have to broaden the scope a little bit, robin. yes, here we're talking about the natural birth mother. but make no mistake, if you bring a new baby into your home, it can affect the partner, the spouse, the entire family. it's a major event. >> sometimes we hear, oh, e mother just has the blues, has the baby blues. when, though -- what's the criteria that you know that it has extended far beyond that to depression? >> you know, i've delivered over 1500 babies, so i've seen every possible manifestion of maternal behavior here. i think postpapartum blu is where you're going to see some crying, some tearfulness. you're going to have some trouble sleeping and eating. you might be unsure how to care for your baby. that's kind of normal and these symptoms or feelings typically will last about two weeks.

postpartum depression, which affects anywhere from 10% to 20% of moms, so we're talking a lot of women here, this is not subtle. these are intense feelings, overwhelming sadness. you cannot perform what we call your activities of daily living. you u can't ca for yourself. you might have trouble caring for your baby and in severe situatio you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. >> well, we heard in juju's report, 600,000 women a year diagnosed with this. >> right. >> if you're a new mom or have a loved one and you suspect something isn't right, what do you do? >> you have to speak up and ask for help. it's not a sign of weakness. it's a sign of strength. at the end of the day it's your health and your baby's health so asking for help is the first step. >> therere various treatments. >> a lot of treatments. they range from medication, talk therapy, in severe cases hospitalization, but remember this is out there. it does not discriminate. it can affect the celebrity as well as the average everyday mom. we need to talk about it more. >> and we're so glad that hayden is leading that conversation and the manner in which she's doing it. >> absolutely.
