Catherine Zeta-Jones speaks out about bipolar

The term bipolar seems to have an unnecessary stigma attached to it and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who has started to seek help for the condition, hopes that she will encourage others to ask for help too.
 
In an interview with People magazine the actress said, “There is no shame in seeking help. This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them. If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it.” Catherine is already back to work in Louisiana where she is filming romantic comedy Playing The Field.
 
The Hollywood actress will be happy to know that she has the whole of the UK behind her wishing her well. She even has fellow bi-polar sufferer Kerry Katona offering her help if needed, “Rehab is an amazing place, I'd go back tomorrow if I could. It has a stigma as people think it's only for drug addicts or alcoholics but it's not, it's a place to find yourself again. I think it's great Catherine is going back to work because it will keep her mind focused. I can totally relate to her situation - give me a call if you want, Catherine, and we can have a good old chinwag!” Well…that’s a nice thought.
