Catherine Zeta-Jones: ‘No Need to Suffer Silently’
10:38 am, April 20th, 2011
Catherine Zeta-Jones checked into a mental health facility a little more than a week ago for treatment of bipolar disorder, and now she’s opening up about her struggle.
“This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them,” the actress candidly tells People. “If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it.”
Zeta-Jones offers, “There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help.”
The Oscar winner’s rep tells Gossip Cop, “She’s feeling great.”
A little more than a week ago, Zeta-Jones made the decision to check into a mental health facility for treatment of the disorder “after dealing with the stress of the past year.”
Her husband, Michael Douglas, battled throat cancer throughout the previous year.
Zeta-Jones will soon begin shooting the upcoming romantic comedy Playing the Field.
