SHOCKING! “I Wanted To End Things, Commit Suicide”, Reveals Ileana D’Cruz On Her Depression!
Depression is a major mental traumatic condition these days, be it the work stress or the overthinking, or any other factor, many people suffer from depression. So far, we have seen many prominent people talking about this mental condition. Starting from Deepika Padukone, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh, everybody opened up about the issue.
Deepika even opened an organization named “The Live Love Laugh’ foundation” to help those who are suffering from chronic or acute depression. She voiced on this a lot of times. Now, after a while, another actress has come forward. And it is none other than “Barfi” star Ileana D’Cruz.
The topic has come in the recent 21st World Congress Of Mental Health in which actress Ileana D’Cruz spoke about her struggle with depression and Body Dysmorphic Disorder and how she even felt suicidal at one point in her life.
She was quoted saying, “I was always a very self-conscious person and was picked on for my body type. I used to feel low and sad all the time but didn’t know I was suffering from depression and Body Dysmorphic Disorder till I got help. All I wanted to do was to be accepted by everyone.”
Further, she revealed that she had thoughts of ending life at one point in time. “At one point, I even had suicidal thoughts and wanted to end things. However, all of it changed when I accepted myself and what I was going through. I think that is the first step towards fighting depression,” she added.
Ileana said, “It is a chemical imbalance in your brain, and needs to be treated. Don’t sit back and think it will get okay but go get help. Like you have a sprain and go get yourself checked if you have depression, seek help.”
“I am not saying that I had this miraculous recovery, every day is a process, every day is a step towards healing yourself and getting better. You are a human being and are allowed to be imperfect, and you are allowed to be flawed. There is a lot of beauty in your imperfections, in your uniqueness. You may look at us actors and think that ‘Oh my God, they are so pretty, so perfect’. But that’s not how it is. It takes two hours to get ready and look like this. Love yourself for who you are and trust me if you are happy from within, you are the most beautiful person and your smile is your best asset,” she concluded.
Even in this generation, many people don’t believe that there is a kind of disorder named “Depression”. People, in general, will conclude it as some other thing.
