Angelina Jolie is said to be receiving treatment for stress after giving birth to twins.

The actress is reportedly emotional after struggling to sleep following the arrival of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline last month.

Jolie already has another biological daughter and three adopted children with partner Brad Pitt.

A source told Now: "She's in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad's found her collapsed asleep in the bath twice.

"She's been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed."

The insider added: "She's also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy."

The couple are reportedly looking for a nurse to stay with the family for six weeks.
