Kerry Washington

Scandal star Kerry Washington spoke up not only against the stigma surrounding mental illness, but also against the stigma surrounding therapy. She told Glamour, “I say that [I rely on a therapist] publicly because I think it’s really important to take the stigma away from mental health. … My brain and my heart are really important to me. I don’t know why I wouldn’t seek help to have those things be as healthy as my teeth. I go to the dentist, so why wouldn’t I go to a shrink?”
