Halle Bailey Opens Up About Severe Postpartum Depression

Halle Bailey, known for her role in the upcoming “Little Mermaid” movie, recently shared a candid video on Snapchat about her struggles with severe postpartum depression. The 24-year-old actress, who welcomed her baby boy Halo with boyfriend DDG, opened up about the challenges she has been facing since giving birth.

In the emotional video, Halle revealed that she has been experiencing severe postpartum depression, making it difficult for her to be separated from her baby for more than 30 minutes at a time. She expressed feeling like a completely different person and struggling to feel normal in her own body.

Despite the difficult experience, Halle emphasized that her postpartum depression has nothing to do with her baby, but rather with her own mental and emotional state. She also addressed the hurtful comments she has received online, urging people to be more compassionate and understanding towards new mothers.

In January, Halle announced the arrival of her son Halo, after keeping her pregnancy private for months. She later delivered a powerful speech at Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood Awards, where she explained her decision to keep her baby out of the public eye.

Halle’s openness about her struggles with postpartum depression serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness, especially for new mothers. Her courage in sharing her story is a powerful message to others who may be going through similar challenges.
