Innumerable people are diagnosed with mental disorders and the numbers are increasing every year. In a given year, an estimated 44 million US adults experience some degree of mental illness.
People suffering from mental health issues usually tend to feel isolated and alone. It is a known fact that many people do not like to reveal that they are suffering and do not want to share their experiences.
“There’s no pattern necessarily, it can come and go in waves, which makes it a little more difficult because you’re not really sure when one point ends and another point begins,” said Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart while talking on her past experiences on anxiety and depression.
“I had everything I needed to be happy. And yet, for much of the last year, I felt unhappy. What basically everyone around me — but me — knew up until December was this: I have postpartum depression. How can I feel this way when everything is so great?” said Chrissy Teigen while penning an essay describing her experience with postpartum depression.
Apart from Lili Reinhart and Chrissy Teigen, many other prominent celebs have opened up about their once-a-mental-unfit story. Actors and celebrities have very hectic schedules and constantly have to stay connected with their fans.
They do not mind sharing their problems openly to raise awareness about mental illness through various platforms such as social media and press. They make people believe in getting better life after getting treatment. You can find solace in their inspiring thoughts and feel comfortable to deal with mental illness or similar sort of issues. While talking to various health magazines, these celebrities have also spoke about their ways to heal the illness and say it is perfectly all right to reveal your mental health issues publicly.
