"Shortly after giving birth to her son Moses in April 2006, Gwyneth Paltrow suffered from postpartum depression.\r\n&amp;quot;I couldn&amp;apos;t connect with my son the way that I had with my daughter [Apple, now 7] and I couldn&amp;apos;t understand why,&amp;quot; she said on Thursday&amp;apos;s premiere episode of Lifetime&amp;apos;s The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet. &amp;quot;I couldn&amp;apos;t connect to anyone. I felt like a zombie. I felt very detached.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPaltrow, 39, continued: &amp;quot;I just didn&amp;apos;t know what was wrong with me. I couldn&amp;apos;t figure it out. It never occurred to me. My husband [Chris Martin, 35] actually said, &amp;apos;Something&amp;apos;s wrong. I think you have postnatal depression.&amp;apos; I was mortified. &amp;apos;No I don&amp;apos;t!&amp;apos; And then I started researching what it was and the symptoms and I was like, &amp;apos;Oh, yes I do.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nPaltrow isn&amp;apos;t alone. Brooke Shields, Courteney Cox, Bryce Dallas Howard and Amanda Peet are just a handful of celebrities who&amp;apos;ve experienced similar symptoms, and as many as one in five women in the United States will suffer from postpartum depression.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We think that it makes us bad mothers or we didn&amp;apos;t do it right, but it&amp;apos;s like, we&amp;apos;re all in this together,&amp;quot; Paltrow said. &amp;quot;I never understand why mothers judge other mothers, like, &amp;apos;What do you mean you didn&amp;apos;t breastfeed? What do you mean you didn&amp;apos;t do this?&amp;apos; It&amp;apos;s like, &amp;apos;Can&amp;apos;t we all just be on each other&amp;apos;s side?&amp;apos; It&amp;apos;s so hard anyway. Can&amp;apos;t we all help each other get through it? There&amp;apos;s a shame attached to it because if you say, &amp;apos;I had a baby and I couldn&amp;apos;t connect to the baby,&amp;apos; it&amp;apos;s like, &amp;apos;What is wrong with you?&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThough the Country Strong actress believes &amp;quot;you never totally get rid of it,&amp;quot; being open about her struggle with postpartum depression made it easier to cope.\r\n&amp;quot;That&amp;apos;s why I talk about it, because even the awareness of it started to diminish it,&amp;quot; Paltrow explained. &amp;quot;Because I didn&amp;apos;t feel like I&amp;apos;m dying or I&amp;apos;m crazy -- period. It&amp;apos;s like, &amp;apos;Oh, this is a thing. This is a real thing and these are the symptoms and I have them all.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
