Lisa Rinna is getting candid about postpartum depression.
The 61-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum discussed the experience of giving birth to both daughters with Harry Hamlin on the Let’s Not Talk About the Husband podcast.
The two have daughters Delilah Belle, 26, and Amelia Gray, 23.
“I had horrible postpartum depression, but I didn’t know it,” she recalled of welcoming Delilah and Amelia. “I didn’t know what it was, because you know when you have your first baby, you don’t know.”

“I think most women get postpartum depression,” her 73-year-old husband added, and revealed his sister-in-laws and cousin all experienced the medical condition.
He later recalled a time when Lisa threatened to “kill” him.
“We went to a movie one day in Bracebridge, and you said, ‘I’m gonna kill you.’ And I said, ‘You better call Howie [her OB-GYN] right now.’ ”
“Are you sure I said that?” Lisa asked.
“You said, ‘You better watch out. I feel like killing you,’” he continued to recall. “You said, ‘Keep the knives in a drawer.’”
“I was having these horrible visions. It’s true. I was having horrible hallucinations of killing people. And I needed to take the knives out of the house. And I also had horrible visions of driving the car into a brick wall,” she recalled.
“I did not have horrible visions about hurting the baby in any way, shape or form,” she explained. “It wasn’t about that.”
“It was about hopelessness, darkest depression and these horrible visions, hallucinations. It was the knives and it was driving the car into the brick wall,” she went on to say.
He told her to call her OB-GYN immediately, who then prescribed her with antidepressants, which took about three weeks to take full effect.
She noted she didn’t have the same visions after Delilah‘s birth in 1998.
“I was just absolutely hopeless,” she reflected. “I don’t know how to describe it, because mine didn’t manifest itself towards the baby at all. It was towards me. I would say looking back, I was completely psychotic.”
