Hayden Panettiere has entered a treatment centre for post-partum depression.

The Nashville actress, 26, gave birth to her daughter with boxer Wladimir Klitschko, named Kaya Evodokia, in December last year.

A representative for Panettiere told People that she is “voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment centre as she is currently battling postpartum depression. She asks that the media respect her privacy during this time.”

Panettiere’s Nashville character Juliette Barnes has also suffered post partum depression, and she’s spoken about the parallels between their experiences.
