, the singer said that her husband, fellow country star Ryan Hurd, helped her recognize her own postpartum depression after the birth of their now 2-year-old son, Hayes. "I do check-ins all the time [with] therapy, which I've done for years, and my husband was a huge help diagnosing that too," the 31-year-old said. The postpartum depression began to ease when Hayes was around 6 months old, Morris said, but she’s thankful her husband allowed her to recognize it.
“Sometimes it's just someone really close to you saying, 'Are you OK?' It's so simple, but it kind of snaps you out of whatever fog you're in that you think is normal, but isn't,” she explained.Morris has been candid about her experience post-baby, especially in light of the fact that she gave birth at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Her time in quarantine was eye-opening and allowed her to zoom in on her mental health.
"I'm pretty sure everyone in lockdown and this pandemic has had to do a temperature check on their mental health, and maybe it'll become a more perpetual practice going forward because of these two years — I hope it is," she told. "I just think there's not a stigma as much around talking about it and reaching out for help.
