In aninterview with Cosmopolitan, Reinhart opened up about her experience with depression and anxiety. And her message about living with the conditions and going through treatment deserves all the praise-hand emojis.Theres no pattern necessarily. It can come and go in waves, which makes it a little more difficult because youre not really sure when one point ends and another point begins, Reinhart told Cosmopolitan. It can be based off a certain situation, or it can be seasonal or it can have no reason at all, because it doesnt need a reason. Its a chemical in [my] brain that I have to take medication for, so I dont constantly feel doom and gloom and sadness.Reinhart explained she felt compelled to address her mental health in order to normalize the discussion around anxiety and depression.[Im speaking out about it because] I felt like the celebrities and people who did talk about it were commended for being so brave. Its not something that you need to praise anyone for, she said. It should be commonplace. It should be something that we talk about in school. The fact that it isnt makes people ashamed of it.The shame Reinhart describes is in large part due to the stigma around mental illness. Nearly one in five American adults will experience a mental health disorder this year, but just 25 percent of peopleliving with a mental illness feel that others understand or care about their condition.Reinhart said she felt this prejudice deeply during her time in school.For teenage kids, they feel a pressure to sweep things under the rug because they feel like theyre not important enough to have problems.I dealt with that, explained. People were like, You have no reason to be upset. Your feelings are illogical. My message is that thats not true. You dont have to have a reason. Your feelings are validated by the fact that youre feeling them.Well salute that sentiment. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
