Gwyneth Paltrow: Madonna got me through post-natal depression

Actress says singer gave her advice on coping after having children

Monday, 22 September 2008

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that Madonna helped her beat post-natal depression.

The actress, 35, had the baby blues following the birth of her son Moses in April 2006.

But Madonna, 50, inspired her to overcome the tough period.

‘She really helped me out of my post-natal depression,’ she tells Oprah Winfrey on her chat show. ‘I had a very interesting talk with her one night.

'She was very wise about life's bigger picture and when obstacles come up in our life it's for a very specific reason - they're there to teach us something that we haven't learned yet.

‘She kinda made me see that my post-natal depression was an opportunity for me to change certain things about the way I was living and the way I was going forward.

'She really sort of reorganised my molecules in that situation.’

Gwyneth also has daughter Apple, 4, with her Coldplay frontman husband Chris Martin, 31.
