Taking A Toll
While Douglas underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment, Zeta-Jones’ depression only became worse. Zeta-Jones, the following year, sought treatment for bipolar II, a kind of manic depression. Moreover she publicly acknowledged that she had been diagnosed with the mental health disorder she was seeking treatment for.
Speaking Out
After revealing her struggles with depression, Zeta-Jones told InStyle magazine, “I’m not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops but, with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it is completely controllable.” Then in April 2013, she checked into a treatment center again to receive help.
