‘Lethal Weapon’ actress, Rene Russo, has come clean for the very first time about her battle with bipolar affective disorder as she sat down to chat with the talk show host, Queen Latifah.
Pushing Through
Both movie stars were asked to admit one secret thing from their lives they had to push through and deal with. This is when Rene decided to spill the beans about her struggle with her bipolar disorder.
“My mum said my whole childhood… was stop and go.”
“I literally crashed, hit a wall and couldn’t get out of bed,” said the actress of her dramatic mood and energy level swings.
Opening Up
Rene also mentioned her decision to start taking medication. “I thought it was depression, but if you take antidepressants it speeds you up more. I haven’t shared this. I have friend who don’t want to go on medication, and they are suffering.”
Being moved by the actress’ honesty and her ability to share these difficult and private details about herself, Queen Latifah showed her support and gratitude.
“Thank you so much for sharing that. That can really help some people.”
