The 'Jurassic World' star was told she was an "unnatural mother" when her son was born, at a vulnerable stage when she was yet to educate herself on the common mood disorder.
Speaking in the most recent issue of BALANCE magazine, she said: "I had someone tell me - when I was super-depressed and trying my hardest with Theo, before I read books, before I looked it up online and before I began to come to terms with the fact that something giant has shifted out of my control and my life would never be the same - I had someone literally tell me: 'No, Bryce. You're not depressed. You're just not a natural mother.' At that moment in time, that was someone trying to cause harm."
The condition took her by surprise, as she had worked at a daycare and been a nanny before becoming a mum herself. She explained: "It was so crazy for me. I was so excited to be a parent and excited to start my family. I had been a nanny, worked in daycare, was the oldest of four siblings and all my cousins and was so madly in love with Seth and married to him.
"I really had no reason to believe that it would be anything other than this euphoric experience. Yes, I knew I would be tired and that it would be hard and painful, but I did not think that I was going to struggle with mental health to the degree that I did. Never ever.
"I believed in being able to get yourself into a state where you could overcome that, but at that time I was not able to and it was such a struggle.
"The only reason I got out of it was from getting educated, getting more information and people reaching out."
