In an interview after the birth of Hank IV, Wilkinson revealed she had suffered post-partum depression. "After giving birth, I never brushed my hair, my teeth, or took a shower," said Wilkinson.

She attributed her depression to moving to Indianapolis where her husband played so soon after Hank IV's birth and feeling isolated.
