1. Kesha wrote an article for Elle detailing her experience in therapy for her eating disorder:
"I felt like part of my job was to be as skinny as possible, and to make that happen, I had been abusing my body. I just wasn't giving it the energy it needed to keep me healthy and strong. My brain told me to just suck it up and press on, but in my heart I knew that something had to change. So I made the decision to practise what I preach. I put my career on hold and sought treatment. I had to learn to treat my body with respect."
2. Gwyneth Paltrow spoke to Good Housekeeping about attending therapy for her postpartum depression:
"I felt like a zombie. I couldn't access my heart. I couldn't access my emotions. I couldn't connect ... The hardest part for me was acknowledging the problem. I thought postpartum depression meant you were sobbing every single day and incapable of looking after a child. But there are different shades of it and depths of it, which is why I think it's so important for women to talk about."
3. Catherine Zeta-Jones spoke to People magazine about her bipolar disorder:
"This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them. If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."
