Billie Eilish Opened Up About How Hitting Puberty Early Impacted Her Mental Health

Billie Eilish Opened Up About How Hitting Puberty Early Impacted Her Mental Health In her first cover interview with Vogue, Billie Eilish opened up about depression and how hitting puberty early played a part. The singer said that while several factors contributed to her depression, her body changing at a young age was the main cause. "I just hated my body... I developed really early... So my body was going faster than my brain." Research suggests a link between hitting puberty early and mental health issues. Eilish said her body dysmorphia "peaked" at age 12, when she was part of a competitive dance company. Depression took hold after a hip injury halted her budding dance career, Eilish told Rolling Stone. Eilish said she cares for her mental health with therapy, prioritizing time with friends, and horseback riding. She shares her own mental health struggles to help others feel less alone and remind people that it's always okay to ask for help.
