In another interview with Yahoo Style, she spoke about those people who question postpartum depression. "It's like, you have no idea what you're talking about," she said. "If you think for one second that a mother wants to feel that way towards her child, you are out of your mind. It's one of the most debilitating, scary, guilty feelings that you can ever feel. "That a mother would not be able to connect with their child, would not be able to get a grip, or would not know what's going on, for anybody to say that's false or created by us, you must have your head examined. "Coincidentally on Thursday, it was revealed that Hayden's ABC TV show Nashville is being cancelled after four seasons. The season four finale, airing on Wednesday, May 25, will now serve as the country drama's series finale.
