Hayden Panettiere is Feeling Better

Hayden Panettiere recently appeared on Good Morning America, where she gave an update on her wellbeing after struggling with postpartum depression last year. Here's what she had to say, as reprinted by E! News:

"It takes you a while and you feel off. You don't feel like yourself...Women are so resilient, and that's the incredible thing about them. I think I'm all the stronger for it. I think I'm a better mom because of it because you never take that connection for granted."

And on resuming filming for Nashville, which now airs on CMT:
"I'm feeling great. I'm so glad to be back playing Juliette. Everything she's been through has been like a hazard sign in the road. She made me stronger. I feel like she's a phoenix. She crashes and burns and then she rises from the ashes and she always takes the lesson and becomes stronger for it. So we have that in common I think." 

On playing a character who struggled with postpartum depression:
"It absolutely helped me. I think it helped me identify what was going on. And to let women know that it's OK to ask for help and it's OK to have a moment of weakness. It doesn't make you a bad person, doesn't make you a bad mother. It makes you a very strong, resilient woman. You've just got to let it make you stronger."
