25 Celebrities Who Suffer From Mental Illness

We often imagine celebrities as leading perfect lives – when you"re rich and famous, what problems could you possibly have?

But the truth is, stars can suffer as much as anyone. Mental illness, as they say, does not discriminate.

Many celebs have been open about their struggles with mental health, helping to end the stigma that once surrounded conditions such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and bipolar disorder.

1. Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato has been open about her struggle with bipolar disorder, cutting and bulimia. “I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar,” she told People when she was 18.

2. Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio suffers from OCD, which he drew upon while playing Howard Hughes in The Aviator.

3. Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and anxiety, and even incorporated OCD into her character on Girls. She has taken medication for her conditions and told fans on Instagram that exercise helps immensely.

4. Robin Williams

Funnyman Robin Williams suffered from depression, paranoia and anxiety and tragically took his own life in 2014. However, his widow Susan said her husband’s death was a result of Lewy Body Dementia, a form of neurodegenerative dementia that causes mood instability, hallucinations and impaired motor skills.

5. Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber admitted to taking Adderall for ADHD, but recently quit because it gave him anxiety. Early in 2016, he canceled meet-and-greets with fans, saying they left him feeling “drained and unhappy” and “mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression.”

6. Angelina Jolie

The movie star admitted that she used to cut herself as a teen. “I went through a period that when I felt trapped I would cut myself. I have a lot of scars,” she told OK! magazine.

World"s Oldest Human Dies at 116

Susannah Mushatt Jones, the Guinness Book of World Records holder for oldest living human being, has officially passed that distinction on to someone else.

Multiple outlets have announced that she passed away on Thursday, May 12.

She was 116 years old.

Robert Young, a consultant at Jones’s public housing facility in Brooklyn, confirmed this sad news to The Associated Press.

A native of Alabama and former nanny, Jones received the aforementioned Guinness World Records title in July 2015.

She was born in 1899, four years before the Wright brothers took their first flight in 1903.

Just in case you needed some perspective on how old 116 years actually is.

“Ms. Jones was the very last American from the 1800s,” said Young, who said Jones had been ill for about the past 10 days.

For those hoping to equal or exceed the age at which Jones died, did she have any secrets to her longevity? Any words of wisdom she could pass along?

Last year, in an interview with USA Today, Jones credited bacon and sleep as keys to her very long life. Yes, bacon and sleep!

According to the newspaper, she had a sign in her kitchen that read “Bacon makes everything better.”

This woman was a genius.

Jones is now survived by 100 nieces and nephews, although she had no children of her own. (Hey, maybe that’s another secret to a long life! Just kidding!)

“I surround myself with love and positive energy,” Jones also told the New York City Housing Authority in 2005. “That’s the key to long life and happiness.”

Kendra Wilkinson Continues TMI Takedown of Holly Madison: She Only Takes It In the Backdoor!

Just when we thought the feud between Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison was beginning to cool down, Kendra went on the offensive in a big way with one of her mist scathing takedowns to date.

For those who haven’t been keeping up with this battle of the blondes, allow us to bring you up to speed:

It all started when Holly told People magazine that she lived in fear during her time at the Playboy mansion. 

Kendra shot back with a series of burns that were primarily focused on Holly taking it up the butt.

“Holly’s job was to get Hef hard again and clean him up with her mouth,” Wilkinson tweeted. “That bitch is in fear now.

“She wasn’t in fear with that d–k in her ass for a paycheck.” 

Earlier today, Kendra issued an apology, but stood by her remarks.

It looked like the ongoing cold war between Wilkinson and Madison had reached another temporary detente, but then Kendra fird more shots in her own interview with People:

“She is the freakiest freak in the bedroom,” Kendra said of Holly, adding that Wilkinson’s sole ambition was to get pregnant with Hef’s baby so that she would be on easy street for the rest of her life.

“She could have, like, stuck it up the right hole for her to get pregnant. But she didn’t. She was the clean-up crew.”

Yes, she’s going back to the butt stuff well. Not a well you want to drink out of.

Asked why she believes Madison has avoided confrontation with her, Kendra replied that her former Girls Next Door co-star is worried about being forced to answer for baseless claims she made in her memoir:

“She’s scared,” Wilkinson said bluntly. “There are so many things in that book that are fake and false. She’s scared of getting called out.” 

Harsh. Sounds like it’s Holly’s turn to fire back.

Although if Kendra is gonna keep carpet-bombing her like this, it might be wise to just surrender.

Tyler Baltierra Shocks Fans With Drug Use Confession

Before he matured into one half of the mist stable couple in Teen Mom history, Tyler Baltierra struggled with substance abuse.

In the recent memoir he co-wrote with wife Catelynn Lowell, Baltierra revealed that he began experimenting with weed and alcohol at the age of 8 and eventually moved on to harder drugs, such as cocaine and ecstasy.

Tyler wrote of using in the early days of his relationship with Catelynn and of his struggle to get clean, and it was widely believed that he had been drug-free for the past several years.

So some fans were surprised when Baltierra admitted on Twitter last night that he still drinks and smokes pot.

“Marijuana is only bad if the user makes it bad,” he wrote. “Alcohol is only bad when the user abuses it… crack, heroin & meth? #ScrewAllThat.”

Obviously, there’s nothing unusual about a 24-year-old drinking or smoking weed, but some fans expressed concern as a result of Baltierra’s well-publicized past.

“I have a defective brain & used coke, pills, shrooms, LSD, ecstasy, etc,” Tyler tweeted, making no effort to downplay the severity of his former addictions. “I just chose not to deny my weakness w/ drugs.”

He added that he has no such problems with booze or pot and posted the following retweets:

“Just like alcohol or any other substance or habit, if it’s not negatively impacting your life, it’s fine. #allinmoderation”

“As long as a person has this bills paid, food in the house & babies taken care of FIRST. I don’t think it’s a problem.”

Despite recent rumors that Lowell and Baltierra were headed for divorce, the couple is still going strong and Tyler frequently gushes about his wife and daughter, Novalee.

We say if they can safely take the edge off now and then, more power to them.
