  "account": "Alanis Morissette, a mother of three children—Ever, 14, Onyx, 10, and Winter, 7—has revealed her experiences with postpartum depression following each of her pregnancies. In a recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the 55-year-old singer disclosed that her depression worsened with each subsequent pregnancy, causing her to feel \"out of control\" and haunted by terrifying thoughts.\n\nMorissette shared that she initially struggled to discuss her feelings, keeping them to herself for a year and a half after her first pregnancy, eight months for the second, and just three days for the third. She began speaking publicly about her postpartum depression in 2017, the second time she experienced it, in an effort to help other women recognize and seek support for their own struggles.\n\nDuring the podcast, Morissette explained that the outpouring of messages from women who had also experienced postpartum depression was \"amazing\" as it made her feel less alone. She emphasized the importance of seeking help through treatments like counseling and medication, as well as connecting with other mothers through support groups, such as the Postpartum Support International (PSI), to combat the emotional burden often placed on new mothers.",
