Yasmien Kurdi reveals she suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Ayesha

Yasmien Kurdi has opened up about her past experience with postpartum depression.

The "Start-Up PH" actress has a 10-year-old daughter named Ayesha with husband Rey Soldevilla.

"I think 'yung postpartum depression nagkaroon ako nun. Totoo siya. Akala ko dati na hindi ko mararanasan ‘yung ganu’n. Pero nu'ng nandoon na ako naranasan ko siya," she said in an interview on 'Updated With Nelson Canlas.'

Yasmien said she used to stare at herself in the mirror, feeling strange in her own skin.

"I felt na parang sobrang parang feeling ko 'yung skin ko bakit ganito. Bakit parang hindi bumalik ang lahat sa dati," she said.

"After giving birth parang hindi lahat, hindi ako naging ako na. Naging iba na ako," she added.

Having overcome postpartum depression, Yasmien said that the most important thing is family support.

"Kasi number one 'yan family support and ‘yung prayers. Kasi kailangan mo ‘yun e,  'yung love nila. 'Yung push nila sayo na kaya mo 'yan, ganu'n," she said.
