Celebs Who Have Opened Up About Their Depression

D epression is something that is not very openly talked about as compared to all other traumas one goes through in life. Mental health is as vital as being physically fit . It is like a seesaw swing which gets imbalanced any moment when more pressure is there on one side. But as in the case of a seesaw, it can be clearly seen that when one side of it is more pressurized it makes the swing go up and down.

Whereas if a person is experiencing more stress on mental health, the situation needs to be dealt with at par like it is dealt with if a person goes through any kind of physical stress. But the times have changed and celebs have not hesitated to speak their mind out about the need of the hour.

Here is the list of celebrities who have opened up about their experiences and have not turned back since then:

Manisha Koirala

One of the most prominent actors of the 90’s era, Manisha Koirala suffered from clinical depression which resulted because of her ex-husband Samrat Dalal. The actress who is known for her roles in blockbuster hit movies like ‘Saudagar’ and ‘Sanju’ has also battled and survived ovarian cancer .

When asked about what she has to say or what is the message she would like the world to know, here is what she said in an interview to ‘Parent circle’

“ First and foremost, seek help. It could be professional or friendly advice or, help from someone you can open up to. Do not hesitate. Second, never think that you are alone. For, there is always someone willing to hear you out. And, don't ever give up on yourself — you can survive everything!”

YO YO Honey Singh

Hirdesh Singh, better known with his stage name yo yo Honey Singh went on a sabbatical from his singing career and went into isolation. After a long period of a year here is what is said in an interview with TOI:

” The last 18 months were the darkest phase of my life, and I wasn't in a state to talk to anyone. I know there were rumors that I was in rehab (for drug overdose), but I was in my Noida house throughout. The truth is I was suffering from bipolar disorder. It went on for 18 months, during which I changed four doctors, the medication wasn't working on me and crazy things were happening, One year had passed and I wasn't responding to medicines, until a fourth doctor from Delhi treated me. At one point, I thought I would live in this darkness forever. I had cut myself off from everyone. I didn't come out of my room, forget stepping out of the house. I had a beard and I didn't get a haircut for months. For someone who has performed in front of a crowd of 20,000, I was scared of facing 4-5 people. That's what bipolar disorder does to you.”

Deepika Padukone

One of the most beautiful divas of Bollywood, Deepika has also recently opened up and shared her traumas that she went through. It was her mother ‘Ujala Padukone’ who spotted her symptoms and asked her to seek medical advice. Deepika was diagnosed with depression in 2014 and since then she has not only helped herself but also encouraged others to come out of their traumas and talk about them.

She observed and noted that the unawareness creates difficulty for people to reach out. According to the ‘World Health Organization’, in India alone 7.5 lac people suffer from some sort of mental illness and.

In the view of the above statement, it inspired Deepika to create a platform for social awareness drives relating to the significance of mental health. In 2015, She set up the ‘Live Love Laugh’ foundation which aims and focusses on mental health issues.

Demi Lovato

Demetria Devonne Lovato, is an American pop singer, songwriter and television personality. She bagged various accolades including MTV music video ,14 teen choice awards and two Grammy award nominations. But her journey was one heck of ride. She experienced suicidal thoughts as early as age seven, suffered from a bipolar disorder and a severe substance abuse. Lovato's pattern of repetitive sickness is an increasingly precise impression of the truth for some: occasionally treatment works and at times new treatment is required, and individual can stick to their systems for dealing with their ailments and sometimes they lose track. Below are the links of her talking about mental illness.

Lady Gaga

One of the most famous singers of all time, Lady Gaga began her career singing in open mic concerts at the school level and took off to conquer the world by her contribution to the entertainment industry. She recalls her time when she was a child and the thought of depression would come to her mind and the most terrific memory that can haunt someone, sexual assault has only added up to that.

Ellen DeGeneres

The famous stand comedian and host in a recent interview with USA times told that is wasn’t easy to come out in the lime light again as she felt depressed and alienated as being a ‘Lesbian’, how will people think about you and how will they react to that situation is what all came to her mind at that time. She also said that she fought back and faced the situation even stronger.

Eminem

There is one name in the music industry that never fails to impress us and that is ‘Marshall Bruce Mathers’. Better known by his stage name Eminem, he is a perfect example of the dual type of disorders, substance abuse, and clinical depression. From substance abuse to bullying at school and his drunk absurd father hitting his mother almost every day, he has seen it all. But the zeal for rapping and creating music was always in him and the rest is as we know is history that he created.

Johnny Depp

The famous “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor has been quite vocal from time to time about his acute depression and anxiety attacks. From a failed marriage to financial issues, the actor has never been reluctant to take advice from the health experts. Be it on any issue or any place like home or film set.

Robert Downey Jr.

The “Iron Man” actor has had a serious drug and substance abuse before stepping into the world of Hollywood. He had also served in prison for multiple times regarding the same. But as there is always light at the end of the tunnel, there was a new dawn for him.

Jim Carrey

In spite of having stupendous accomplishment as an entertainer and comic, Jim Carrey still experienced episodes of gloom all through his vocation. Despite the fact that he no longer professes to have despondency, he did at one point take Prozac to treat his side effects. Be that as it may, he said that the medication caused him to feel like he lived in a "low degree of misery," and that he would prefer not to take any psyche modifying substance. He even surrendered espresso and liquor in light of their impacts on the mind.

Depression is something that is not limited to the most marginalized sections of society, but the most established persons of any relevant industry are bound to go through it at some point in life. Hence it becomes very essential to take necessary steps to deal with the stigma and make everyone around us aware of that “It Is Okay To Talk About It.”
