Actress Ashley Judd recently opened up about her late mother’s heartbreaking struggle with mental illness during a panel discussion at the White House on April 23 to promote the newly formed National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.
Ms. Ashley Judd’s mother, country star Naomi Judd, suffered severe depression before taking her own life nearly two years ago. Naomi and her other daughter, Wynonna, had formed the 1980s country duo The Judds. They became one of the most successful acts in country music history, earning five Grammy Awards and nine Country Music Association Awards. They landed 14 No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
