Carey Mulligan is opening up about her experience with postpartum depression.
After welcoming daughter Evelyn Grace in 2015 with husband Marcus Mumford, the actress found that returning to work—specifically, doing press for her film Suffragette—helped her get on a path to healing.
“It was either cancel the whole thing or just get on and do it,” she recently told Vanity Fair. “And that—and a combination of lots of other things, and help and support from everyone around me—was my light.”
Portraying New York Times writer Megan Twohey in the upcoming film She Said, Carey said she bonded with the real life journalist over their shared postpartum journeys.
“Megan and I talked about that,” she continued. “We both shared what we had both been through, like so many women have been through.”
Megan also praised Carey for approaching the role with sensitivity and care, particularly the scenes that captured her struggles after giving birth.
