Mental Health Awareness Week 2016

TSR is running a campaign all of this week for Mental Health Awareness Week 2016 to promote and inform others of the state of mental health and to try and reduce the stigmas associated with mental health.

The 10 celebrities below all have been diagnosed with a mental illness in their lives but can you guess which who has what diagnosis? In no particular order, these are; ADHD, Bipolar, Anxiety, Bulimia, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, Anorexia, Depression and OCD. (Answers will be revealed tomorrow!)

1) Stephen Fry - The much loved actor, comedian and broadcaster; he's experienced mental health problems for much of his life but wasn't diagosed with what illness until the age of 37?

2) Elton John - He's the well known pianist and musician who wrote the songs for 'The Lion King' but has battled which mental illness since the 1970's?

3) Russell Brand - Stand-up comedian, actor and political activist who was also famously married to Katy Perry; he's been diagnosed with two mental illnesses, can you name them both?

4) Robin Williams - Probably one of my favourite actors of all time just because of his innate ability to make me laugh but sadly passed away in 2014. Which mental health problem did he battle?

5) Vincent Van Gogh - Born in Holland in the 1850's, his painting 'Starry Night' is instantly recognisable. Although he grew up in a time where the idea of mental illnesses being more than just biological was in its infancy, it's widely believed he suffered from which mental illness in his short life?

6) Marilyn Monroe - One of the most famous actresses and models to ever live, passed away in 1962 at the age of 36; it was thought she battled with which mental illness which was passed on down through her mothers side of the family?

7) Leonardo DiCaprio - He finally won his very belated Oscar in 2016 for his lead role in the 'The Revenant' (he should have won it years and years ago ) The well known actor has been diagnosed with which mental illness?

8) Jennifer Lawrence - She's most known for her roles in 'Silver Linings Playbook' and as Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games Triology but suffered from which mental health problem as a child?
