Actress Lena Headey has revealed that during her first season of filming "Game of Thrones", she was suffering from undiagnosed postpartum depression.
The 43-year-old star, who plays Cersei Lannister on the hit HBO drama series, said filming season one right after giving birth to her first child was "really horrendous", reported Net-A-Porter.
"I was postnatally depressed but I didn't know it. I saw a doctor for the medical check, and I just burst into tears. She said I was postnatally depressed and I went, 'Am I? Why is that?'" Headey said.
"I saw a great guy and he sorted me out, but I did the first year (on Game of Thrones) in that space, figuring out motherhood and going through a weird time personally. It was tricky," she added.
