Alanis Morissette Reveals the ‘Terror’ Behind Postpartum Depression
The singer said the condition felt more severe after each birth and that she once dipped into psychosis.
- On Wednesday, September 9, Grammy-winning singer Alanis Morissette appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast, telling host Alex Cooper she experienced postpartum depression after all three of her children.
- Morissette explained she termed her struggles 'postpartum activity' because it felt like more than just depression, citing 'invasive thoughts and the terror' that became progressively harder with each child.
- She recounted that her time to seek help decreased, waiting over a year initially and only three days after her third birth, while noting, "The bummer for me inside PPD was that I was losing people's trust in my sanity."
- Explaining that people looked at her 'differently' out of worry, Morissette described feeling misunderstood by those around her, fearing she "couldn't be trusted or was going to fly off the handle."
- Reflecting on the 'wild ride' of balancing her career and family, Morissette said she is 'happy' now, despite powering through her North American Jagged Little Pill Summer Tour while secretly struggling with psychosis.
