Una Healy shares how her husband helped her through postnatal depression

She spoke candidly about her diagnosis in a recent interview.

Una Healy has previously spoken about her diagnosis of postnatal depression after welcoming her second child, Tadgh, three years ago. The mum-of-two revealed that she suffered with her mental health in the months after welcoming her son but says her husband was a huge source of support. In a recent interview with The Mirror, Una revealed how husband Ben Foden helped her through the difficult time.

“I got through my postnatal depression – thank God I did,” she revealed. “Your family are there to be with you and support you through it all – and Ben was amazing.

“The depression is something that happens quite slowly. It is hard to describe because every individual is different. “You’re in the dense fog. Other people get out of it but I went thicker and thicker into the fog. “But I am in a very good place now, and that is all that matters.”

Una revealed her diagnosis last year to RTÉ, sharing that she had been prescribed medication for her depression.

“I went to my GP who diagnosed with postnatal depression. I was offered medication but having tried both, preferred the cognitive therapy route.”
