Deepika Padukone

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone used her own battles with anxiety and depression as an opportunity to de-stigmatize medication as a treatment for mental illness. She told Hindustan Times, “The counseling helped, but only to an extent. Then, I took medication, and today I am much better.” She went on to say, “I see people suffering, and their families feel a sense of shame about it, which doesn’t help. One needs support and understanding.”
