Synopsis
When Hollywood stars are diagnosed with a mental health ailment it's big news. From rumours about Britney's bipolar disorder to Heath Ledger's bout with depression, phobias and mental illness are getting more attention.
But of course, mental illness can affect anyone. Close to 58-million Americans — about one in four adults — suffer from a mental disorder.
From eating disorders (Mary Kate Olsen) to depression (Heather Locklear, Kirsten Dunst, Mia Tyler, Jim Carrey, Heath Ledger), to cases where stars have harmed themselves (Christina Ricci - cutting) this one hour special will explore ten troubling mental disorders, with interviews from doctors, psychologists and the stars themselves.
