Mental illness doesn’t care about race, age, religion, education
level or income; it can affect anyone, even celebrities. Research shows
that as many as one in five Americans have a diagnosable mental illness.
Many don’t seek treatment out of fear of rejection or discrimination,
since the stigma surrounding mental illnesses is still intact and going
strong.
But the stigma is slowing being broken, as more and more sufferers
come forward to talk about their illnesses. Many celebrities that
previously struggled in silence have come forth. Coming from the mouth
of the rich and famous, it seems people are more inclined to listen to
the outspoken heroes of their favorite films and television shows.
