American actor Kirsten Dunst is opening up about her mental health struggles.
During an interview with The Sunday Times, the actor spoke about how her twenties were a dark period, in spite of her successful acting career.
"I feel like most people around 27, the [expletive] hits the fan. Whatever is working in your brain, you can't live like that anymore mentally. I feel like I was angry,” she shared.
"It's hard to talk about such a personal thing, but it is important to share too. All I'll say is that medication is a great thing and can really help you come out of something,” she said.
"I was afraid to take something and so I sat in it for too long. I would recommend getting help when you need it," she went on to say.
Further elaborating on her mental health struggle, she said: “You become a different person; you grow up.”
Dunst, who shares two sons with actor Jessie Plemons, further said: "I remember feeling really free after having my [first] son. I think as a performer, you put yourself out there more [after having a child]. You put yourself on the line because you have nothing to lose," Dunst revealed. "It doesn't really matter. And to show everything of yourself is a brave thing and a beautiful thing."
