Halle Bailey, the talented actress, has bravely shared her experience with severe postpartum depression after giving birth to her son, Halo. In a heartfelt video on Snapchat (later reposted on Instagram), Bailey candidly discussed her struggles. She loves her “perfect” son but faces immense challenges. Separation anxiety is a significant part of her postpartum journey; being away from her baby for more than 30 minutes overwhelms her. Bailey’s boyfriend, DDG, has been a great support during this tough time. However, Bailey’s battle goes beyond the physical. She feels disconnected from

her own body and describes herself as a “completely different person.” Her depression is not tied to her son but rather her own identity. She credits the experience to swimming in an ocean of enormous waves, desperately seeking moments of clarity. As a public figure, Bailey faces additional challenges. The stigma around postpartum depression often silences conversations, but she defies this. Her vulnerability reminds us that mental health matters, regardless of fame or fortune. Let’s honor Halle Bailey’s courage in sharing her story and raising awareness about postpartum depression.
