This Is What Dakota Johnson Had To Say About His Battle With Mental Wellness

Dakota Johnson recently disclosed that she has fought depression since she was 15 years old while discussing her experience with mental health concerns. And now, in the midst of the continuing Coronavirus outbreak, the actress has spoken up about how difficult it was for her to keep positive despite coping with melancholy during the lockdown. It’s been approximately two months since the Fifty Shades Of Grey actress stopped going out to practice social distancing, and sitting alone at home, like many other people throughout the world, isn’t getting any easier for her.

The 30-year-old Hollywood actress expressed her loneliness in a recent interview with Extra. “You’re at home, you’re not with your friends, you’re not with your family, you’re not able to do the things that make you feel worthwhile.” While promoting her new film, High Note, Johnson told Extra. “You’re dressed up as a depressed person, but you’re not sure if you truly feel that way,” she explained. She also highlighted how frightening it is to see the globe crumble under the threat of a fatal epidemic. “Right now, there’s also a lot of enormous grief and sadness ricocheting around the world, so it’s difficult to feel completely positive all of the time when the world is sad, frightening, terrifying, and lonely,” Dakota continued. The actress gave some advice for fans as she discussed how she is dealing with the situation. She claims that “meditation or going for a walk” helps her relax. “Taking care of your body…” Dakota stated, “Those tiny things make a difference in the end.”

To keep herself engaged during the day, the actress claimed she has been reading a lot, watching a lot of movies, and trying to be productive. The actress said she had learned to live with depression in an interview with Marie Claire Magazine earlier this month. “I’ve suffered from depression since I was a child. I’ve been doing it since I was about 15 or 14 years old. That’s when I realized, with the support of professionals, that this is something I can fall into,” she explained. She also stated that she ensures that her personal troubles do not affect those around her.
