Angelina Jolie has been seen in public for the first time since reports emerged that she is suffering from post-natal depression.

The reclusive star was glimpsed after touching down with Brad and the kids at a New York airport.

It's been claimed that Angelina has spiralled into depression following the birth of twins Knox and Vivienne in July.

Most recently, a U.S. publication reported that Brad has been encouraging Angelina to seek help for her dark moods and crisis of self-confidence.

"Brad is so determined to get her back to her old self that he put her in therapy to get her to eat, get out of the house and put an end to her intense mood swings," a source tells Star.

"Angelina didn't want to accept the fact that she was struggling after the twins were born and was really resistant to Brad's pleas for her to get help.”

Whatever the truth to these claims, Angelina certainly cut a glum figure as she clutched a smiling Shiloh yesterday.

The actress is in the U.S ahead of the premiere of new movie Changeling, which will mark her first official public appearance since she became a mum-of-six.
