8 Celebrities Who Have Opened Up About Their Mental Health Struggles

There's an unfortunate stigma surrounding mental health that still keeps many people from talking about their own, especially in public. While pretty much everyone is comfortable mentioning that they have a dentist appointment, it can be scary to tell others about your experiences in therapy. While the flu is an acceptable reason to take a sick day, meanwhile, employers may not be as understanding if you need a day off because you're struggling with depression.

That's why it's so refreshing when celebrities use their platforms to open up about their own mental health. When public figures don't shy away from these difficult conversations, more people may be encouraged to seek the help they need, plus simply remember that they're not alone. Even stars with completely glamorous-seeming lives have had their dark moments. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, for example, recently opened up about his struggle with depression in an interview with the British publication Express,.
