Actress Kirsten Dunst Depressed?
One of the biggest factors to remember when dealing with depression is that you’re not alone. A perfect case in point is 26 year-old actress Kirsten Dunst who has starred in the “Spider-Man” movies and “Marie Antoinette.” After many months of feeling depressed, Dunst finally decided to check herself into the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah. The facility has also hosted actresses Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes.
Rumors of drug and alcohol abuse pushed Dunst into publicizing her depression treatment along with the opportunity to show that the mental illness affects women of all types.
“There's been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it's been very painful for my friends and family,” she said in an E! Online interview.
