You Are Not Alone: 15 Celebs Who Battled Depression
Throughout much of her career, Christina Ricci has one common thread for much of the projects she’s starred in: they were dark. In an example of art imitating life, Ricci herself was in a dark period of her life battling both depression and anorexia. In 2008, The Addams Family star opened up about her past. “These are things you can’t always deal with alone, so I went to therapy,” she says in an interview. “Sometimes people need to seek professional help.
