4. ANUSHKA SHARMA
A few years back, Anushka Sharma openly talked about her journey of fighting from depression. She thinks, talking about such severe mental illnesses, makes it easier for the person suffering from it to fight it off without making life ruining or fatal decisions.
She says, if this sickness is biological, i.e. it runs in the family, then there is nothing to fear about it. Instead, fearing it will make the situation worse and the person might take irreversible actions to get rid of it. It’s rather reckless to not face the truth and suffer for the rest of your life. So, Anushka has taken the charge to teach people as much as she possibly can, about you can fight off and help others to fight the depression.
