9-1-1 has aired a heartbreaking new moment in Maddie's – played by Jennifer Love Hewitt – battle with postpartum depression.
Maddie checked herself into hospital as a patient to face her depression and complex thyroid problems post-pregnancy.
The storyline is tough to watch, but Hewitt is glad that the medical series is touching on this important issue that occurs in some women after childbirth., she explained:"There are these very simple blood tests they do for women after [giving birth], and then they just send you out. They're like, 'Well, it looks fine. You must just be feeling weird.'
"I appreciated that in Maddie's storyline, we really get into how part of what happened to her was just a missed hormone panel that no one paid attention to because she fell into this rare category of people who needed this certain kind of thing for her thyroid."
