Depression is a serious and complex disease with many faces that is on the rise. It is not just a short-term change of mood, passivity, or dissatisfaction with one's own life, but a disease that needs to be treated. True, awareness of mental illness has increased in recent years, but people suffering from depression still encounter a number of prejudices and sometimes condemnation from those around them.
Kirsten Dunst
The 39-year-old actress admitted to suffering from depression in her twenties and spent some time in a rehab center to get help. The award-winning actress revealed that she had been battling the disease for years, and at that time she realized that she had accumulated a lot of anger.
Lady Gaga
One of today's biggest stars has admitted that she suffers from depression and anxiety - all her life. The singer and actress is not ashamed to admit that she is taking medication for these diagnoses. In an interview with Billboard, the 36-year-old said it was important for people to start thinking and speaking publicly about their mental health.
Gwyneth Paltrow
The Oscar winner for Best Actress has spoken publicly about postpartum depression, and her recognition has helped many women who are going through the same thing. Namely, the 49-year-old announced that after the birth of her second child, son Moses, she suffered from this disorder for 5 months.
Paltrow has experienced this before because she suffered from clinical depression in 2002, which was triggered by her father's death.
