New Zealand author Marnie McDermott, who wrote Beyond Happiness: The 12 Principles of Enduring Bliss, warned that Hollywood mothers like Beyonce and Angelina Jolie pose threat to women's mental health, the New Zealand Herald reports.

According to Ms McDermott, these celebrity moms were always pictured fashionable and gorgeous as they balance their successful career, children and quality time traveling with their husbands. She clarified that these seemingly fabulous celebrity moms are surrounded by assistants that make their lifestyle bearable.

As quoted by the New Zealand Herald, Ms McDermott said, "When we are bombarded with Hollywood mums who seem to be able to do and have it all in their careers and personal lives without putting a hair out of place, that raises our expectations of ourselves to unreasonable and unrealistic heights."

"This is not the case for the everyday Kiwi mum, for whom the heavy workload to achieve and attain all the same things can take its toll and send her into a state of hopelessness and sometimes even depression."

"It's hard to avoid this 'manufactured' happiness trap, which has almost become a new epidemic in the Western World. Hollywood teaches us that luxury items, fancy homes and flash cars, will stop us from feeling empty. So we just become busier trying to attain these things, eventually exhausting ourselves."

I was earning six figures and I had a wardrobe full of shoes and clothes, but somehow I felt empty. I kept thinking if I could do and have more work out more, buy a bigger home and earn a higher wage - I would be happy."

Ms MacDermott shared that she once worked as a communications specialist but that she struggled with despair for almost ten years because she thought that career success and the acquisition of luxury items were the only things important. But after overcoming a divorce and surviving a house fire, she realized that she had been searching fulfillment in the wrong places.

She then quit her job to study health and mind-body principles.

Ms MacDermott's analysis is true.

However, there still is something to these fashionable A-list mums that mothers should look up-to.

Take Angelina Jolie for example. Yes, she surely has teams of assistants to help her juggle her responsibilities, but she just does not limit her fulfillment to what material things she can afford.

She knows her capacity, that on-top of taking care of six children, acting and directing, she takes time to promote and be of assistance to humanitarian activities all over the third world countries.
