The You Oughta Know singer revealed that she'd suffered postpartum depression after the birth of her first two children, but didn't expect it again this time around.
It came, though, with symptoms like sleep deprivation, fogginess, physical pain, feelings of isolation, and anxiety.
'This time around, it's less depression, it's more anxiety and a little more of the compulsive, obsessive thoughts,' she told CBS This Morning.
