Thank you #NHS.”

She spoke with the Press Association last year, where she opened up about dealing with PND. She was affected by the condition after she welcomed Tadgh . She admits that she went back to work too quickly and put too much pressure on herself to be a good mother. After going to her doctor she was diagnosed with PND and prescribed medication. According to RTÉ, she said:

"When I had Tadgh, I had a touch of PND, something I didn't experience when Aoife was born. "It was a lonely time and I wasn't helping the situation. I was moving to a new house, Ben had suffered an injury at work and I also jumped back into work quicker than I did when I had Aoife. "I thought I would be fine, and could do it all because I'd had a child before. "I had the support of my own mum and all my family, but I was putting so much pressure on myself to be a good mum, and started to feel alone and withdrawn. "All this added up, and finally I went to my GP who diagnosed post-natal depression. I was offered medication but having tried both, preferred the cognitive therapy route. Talking, whether to my GP or to friends and other new mums, was so helpful for me."
