Thank you Sophie Turner for speaking up and helping reduce the stigma associated with mental health. The 23-year-old actress has opened up about her experience with anxiety and depression in the past, and lately has been getting more real about how she manages it. Recently, she discussed the stigma of therapy and why it should be more commonly accepted.
“I’ve suffered with depression for about five or six years now, and the biggest challenge for me is just getting out of bed, getting out of the house and learning to love yourself,” she said.
The actress described how she was impacted by critical comments from social media. “I would just believe it. I am spotty. I am fat. I am a bad actress.”
The actress shared more about her experience in this article from The Huffington Post. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sophie-turner-therapy_l_5cf546b4e4b0e346ce8248f0
