Angelina Jolie Suffering From PPD?

I never trust In Touch. Sure, Angelina could be suffering from PPD - lots of new moms do! But still, I'm reluctant to believe anything they report. However, the behavior they describe sounds like normal-ish to me. I felt that way after both of my kids were born. Regardless, I hope she's doing ok.

Angelina Jolie is suffering from postpartum depression, it has been claimed.

The Tomb Raider star -- who gave birth to Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline on July 12 -- is said to be having severe "mood swings" and is finding it hard to cope after the twins were diagnosed with colic, a common condition where babies cry excessively for no apparent reason.

A source tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "Angelina slips into depression mode all the time. She has been trying to control her emotions around her older children but her mood swings have been hard on the entire family.

"She has been staying in bed most of the time, all she does is sleep. She has little energy and has to force herself to remember to eat because she is still breast feeding. She cries at the drop of a hat and laughs at inappropriate times."

Since giving birth, Angelina, 33, has stayed in the family's Chateau Miraval in Provence, France, and is reportedly angry at partner Brad Pitt for attending Italy's Venice International Film Festival to promote his new movie Burn After Reading.

The source added, "Angelina feels that Brad has it easy. He had the kids without the pain of birth, and he can just jet off whenever he feels like it."
