She stood chatting outside with a female companion as she finished her cigarette before heading back with a group of people.

Hayden posted on Twitter on Thursday 'The postpartum depression I have been experiencing has impacted every aspect of my life,

'Rather than stay stuck due to unhealthy coping mechanisms I have chosen to take time to reflect holistically on my health and life. Wish me luck!'

It comes seven months after her she admitted herself to a rehab facility to treat the disorder.

The Heroes actress has been very open about her battle with depression since the birth of her daughter Kaya in December 2014 with fiance Wladimir Klitschko, 39. 

In a recent interview with Yahoo Style Hayden said that she felt there was an unfortunate stigma around the disorder, saying anyone who thought women should just 'suck it up' just doesn't understand it.

'It’s like, you have no idea what you’re talking about,' she said of people who question postpartum depression.

'If you think for one second that a mother wants to feel that way toward her child, you’re outta your mind. It is 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 it’s false or created by us, you must have your head examined,' she added.

Hayden's tweet about seeking help last week came on the same day ABC announced that it had cancelled her country music drama, Nashville, after four seasons.

In September of 2015, Hayden revealed on Live with Kelly and Michael that she had something in common with her Nashville character Juliette Barnes, who spun out of control after giving birth to her first child.

'I can very much relate. It's something a lot of women experience,' the new mom divulged on air at the time. 'You don’t realize how broad of a spectrum you can really experience that on. It’s something that needs to be talked about. Women need to know that they’re not alone, and that it does heal.' 

The following month she checked herself into a rehab facility.
