Sarah Michelle Gellar Opens Up About Postpartum Depression

In light of the healthcare bill circulating Washington, Sarah Michelle Gellar took to her Instagram to reveal her own diagnosis with postpartum depression. Here's what she had to say, as reprinted by E! News:

"Having kids is wonderful, and life changing, and rarely what you're prepared for. I love my children more than anything in the world. But like a lot of women, I too struggled with postpartum depression after my first baby was born. I got help, and made it through, and every day since has been the best gift I could ever have asked for.

To those of you going through this, know that you're not alone and that it really does get better. And if you believe that postpartum depression should be covered by healthcare, please take a moment and go to callmycongress.com today, find your rep's numbers and let them know. #NotAPreExistingCondition"
