MUMBAI: Mental health has garnered much attention over the past few years. Mental Health Awareness Week is celebrated every year to raise awareness and mobilise efforts in support of mental health. To help you realize that any person could be a victim of mental issues, we’ve compiled a list of Hollywood actors who have faced mental health problems.
Here are five Hollywood celebrities who have talked about their mental health problems.
Adele – Postpartum Depression
The singer opened up to Vanity Fair in 2016 about her battle with postpartum depression following the birth of her son. 'I didn’t talk to anyone about it. I was reluctant.'

Demi Lovato – Bipolar Disorder

She has beautifully fought these mental illnesses over time. She continues to inspire and encourage people suffering from mental disorders to not let their guard down.
Lena Dunham – OCD
The Girls creator and actress, Lena Dunham suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder just like her character in the series. She wrote about it in her book, Not That Kind of Girl.

Leonardo DiCaprio – OCD
Another actor who suffered from OCD is Leonardo DiCaprio. The actor opened up about his condition in an interview. He has suffered from OCD most of his adult life and even admitted that he has to force himself not to step on every chewing gum stain while walking along and stop the urge to walk through a doorway several times.
Kesha – Eating Disorders
Kesha has struggled with eating disorders and went to rehab to overcome the problem. This was due to the pressure she felt to fit a certain image. She told Rolling Stone, 'I really thought I wasn’t supposed to eat. And then if I ever did, I felt very ashamed, and I would make myself throw up because I’d think, Oh, my God, I can’t believe I did that horrible thing.'
