Naomi Judd struggled with severe depression. It led her to advocate for others with mental health issues. (nbcnews.com)
Naomi Judd said she spent a lifetime battling severe, treatment-resistant depression. After The Judds' "Last Encore" tour ended in 2012, things got worse.
In the years before her death, Naomi Judd was candid about her battle with suicidal ideation, panic attacks and the ups and downs of her mental health struggles.
That fight eventually led her to advocate for others, offering words of solace and solidarity with those who also struggled with suicidal thoughts.
Judd died on Saturday at the age of 76. Daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd said they had lost their mother to "the disease of mental illness."
“We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory," Judd's daughters in a statement on Saturday.
Although in some instances Judd said she had struggled with her mental health for her entire life, she often cited the close of The Judds' "Last Encore" tour in 2012 as the time when things got particularly dark...
