Stars against the stigma: celebrities who've faced mental health issues head on

Harry Potter is probably the most engrossing children’s book and film series ever, and if we’re being honest, we still have nightmares from the dementors featured in it. As it turns out, the terrifying creatures were actually inspired by J.K. Rowling’s real life depression. While writing the novels, Rowling was living in poverty and experiencing severe depression following her mother’s death. In addition to therapy, she found describing the demons to be therapeutic. Now extremely wealthy, the author knows what is is like to hit rock bottom and persevere.
