Drew Barrymore suffered from postpartum depression

Drew Barrymore suffered from postpartum depression. The 'Blended' star - who has daughters Frankie, 17 months, and Olive, three with husband Will Kopelman - admits she "got under the cloud" after giving birth to her youngest child. She shared: "I didn't have postpartum the first time so I didn't understand it because I was like, 'I feel great!' "The second time, I was like, 'Oh, whoa, I see what people talk about now. I understand'. It's a different type of overwhelming with the second. I really got under the cloud." And whilst the 40-year-old star hated how she was feeling at the time, she looks back on it positively as it helped her take "one thing at a time". Drew admits she made a lot of changes to suit her new life as a parent and couldn't be more thankful about the blessings she has been given. She added to PEOPLE magazine: "I just got right on the idea of, where do I need to be the most? Fifty-fifty would be ideal but life doesn't work like that. Life is messy. "It was just really challenging and I felt overwhelmed. I made a lot of decisions and I definitely changed my work life to suit my parenthood."
