However, after Luna's birth, Teigen found that she couldn't get herself off the couch, was incredibly short with people and spontaneously broke out into tears. "What basically everyone around me—butme—knew up until December was this: I have postpartum depression," Teigen wrote.

Teigen was aware that this condition existed but, as a child of the ’90s, she always associated it with “people who didn’t like their babies or felt like they had to harm their children.”

But, the model explained that she "didn’t have anything remotely close to those feelings. I looked at Luna every day, amazed by her. So I didn’t think I had it."

Before the holidays, she and husband John Legend went to her doctor where she was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety. As of February, when she wrote her Glamouressay, the model said she was a month into taking antidepressants and she found a therapist that she plans on seeing very soon.

Teigen expressed her desire to write this essay to highlight postpartum depression and lessen the stigma that surrounds mothers who have it. She wrote, "I’m speaking up now because I want people to know it can happen to anybody and I don’t want people who have it to feel embarrassed or to feel alone."
