In a new interview with Sam Jones, actress Kristin Bell talked about her lifelong struggle with anxiety and depression. The wife and mother of two hopes to remove the stigma associated with mental illness, which runs in her family.
“I’m extremely co-dependent,” Bell, 35, admitted. “I shatter a little bit when I think people don’t like me. And I know that’s not very healthy and I fight it all the time.”
In discussing the stigma surrounding mental health treatment, Bell says there is no shame in asking for help or taking medication, as she does, even though “the world wants to shame you.”
