For the past few seasons of Teen Mom OG, Catelynn Lowell's postpartum depression has been a major storyline for her and Tyler Baltierra. That definitely makes sense — the depression was very severe. Almost severe enough for them to divorce. But things seem to have gotten better since then, and last year, Catelynn got pregnant again. She gave birth to another girl, Vaeda, in February. So … is postpartum depression an issue again this time around? 1. What a Time Seriously, Catelynn’s depression was no joke. 2. Curious She may have had it after her first pregnancy with Carly all those years ago, but since she and Tyler placed her for adoption and they also had horrific home lives, we never really saw if he was suffering from that specific illness or if she was just sad that things were so hard. 3. Enter Nova But after giving birth to Nova, their second child and the first they raised, in 2015, there was no question. 4. Oh, Honey For months after welcoming Nova, she seemed to be struggling. We saw it on the show, and family members saw it up close. 5. The Realization It was nearly an entire year before Tyler’s mother pointed out that postpartum depression could be her problem, and it took longer than that for her to get the help she needed. 6. Making the Right Steps Finally, in March of 2016, she checked into a treatment center in Arizona after nearly having a breakdown when she bought a baby pig. View Slideshow
