Celeb Moms Who Give Back to Health

Brooke Shields

This talented actress has been in the public eye since she was 11 months old. In spite of a successful career spanning decades, Brooke Shields battled with postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter. At first, friends and family dismissed her sadness as the “baby blues,” but her condition quickly turned suicidal. Luckily, Shields overcame her postpartum depression through therapy, medication and breastfeeding. Now, Shields works actively to bring attention to the condition and help make women aware of the symptoms and has even written books on it.
