LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hayden Panettiere is entering treatment for postpartum depression.
A spokeswoman for the actress says in a statement that the "Nashville" star is voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment center while battling postpartum depression. She asked that the media respect her privacy during this time.
Panettiere (PAN-et-TEA-AIR) gave birth to her daughter in December. It's the first child for the 26-year-old actress and 39-year-old professional boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
Notably, Panettiere's character on "Nashville," Juliette Barnes, has experienced postpartum depression.
The actress also starred in the NBC series "Heroes" and the film "Scream 4."
