'I don't want to be too dark, but I genuinely didn't think I would make it to 17'
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 49% of people—yes, almost half—who have felt symptoms of depression and anxiety never seek medical help. In any given year, one in five Canadians will experience a mental-health problem, and by age 40, about 50% of the population will have or have had a mental illness.
Celebs who get candid about their own mental-health struggles also help chip away at the stigma.
