Celebrities with Anxiety Disorders
Try to type on Google “celebrities with anxiety disorder”
then tell me what you feel after reading some articles given there. Mind
blowing, is not it? Celebrities from Barbra Streisand to Emma Stone are listed
to have various kind of anxiety disorders. Indeed it is really shocking to know
the fact that rich and famous celebrities and other well-known people like them
are struggling so much to deal with their anxiety. We always think that their
lifes are amazingly flawless with fame, money, and luxuries arround them. With
things like that, we assume that they can get anything they want easily.
However do you know that Angelina Jolie suffers from a
great self-insecurity? She
never feels satisfied with herself and what she has achieved. She keeps saying
that she is not pretty enough, she has not been a good actress until now, and
she has not given real contribution to society. In fact, she has accomplished
all of the things above. Rumor said that it is because of the tight competition
in Hollywood which makes her to be like that. Also do you know that David
Beckham, the very famous and highly respected English footballer, has sort of
OCD to insist on things have to be in even numbers? When he finds out that
things that he has are not in order that he wants, he will throw or add things to
make sure that they are in even numbers. By the way, who knows that Hugh Laurie
actually suffered from a mild depression while filming “House”? It went the
same too to Heath Ledger who could not detach from his role as Joker in “The
Dark Knight” the second film in Christopher
Nolan's Batman trilogy.
It made him suffered from several depressions before he decided to commit
suicide due to alcohol and drug reason. They are just a few examples of
celebrities who deal with anxiety.
However, quoted from calmclinic.com, there is something we can learn from those
celebrities. They are not shamed to tell their “problems” to others so that
they can seek for help to control their anxiety disorders. People with anxiety
sometimes get shamed, become introvert, and refuse to tell their problems to
their close ones or to the experts. It could be dangerous because even a light
depression can lead you to do stupid thing, such as committing suicide.
