Harry Styles recently opened up about how therapy significantly helped to improve his state of mind. “I thought it meant that you were broken. I wanted to be the one who could say I didn’t need it," he told Better Homes & Gardens.

“I think that accepting living, being happy, hurting in the extremes, that is the most alive you can be,” the former One Direction member said, adding, “Losing it crying, losing it laughing—there’s no way, I don’t think, to feel more alive than that.”

Camila Cabello has been a staunch advocate for mental health after being open about her crippling bouts of anxiety. "I felt really anxious even talking about those things [mental health ] because I think before I went on that journey I was almost scared to be found out, like, 'This is weird, my brain is broken, this isn't normal,'" she said during a chat with Wondermind via People.

"I think the best mental health advice that I've ever received is that faking or pretending is the worst thing for my mental health, personally. Saying the truth and being vulnerable and talking about it is basically what my therapist says to me in every session," the "Señorita" singer noted.

Kendall Jenner has opened up about how she copes with her anxiety from a young age. “I remember being really young and having shortness of breath and going to my mom and telling her that,” the model told Vogue. “In hindsight, now I know that that was obviously anxiety.”

“There [are] going to be those people that say, ‘What does she have to worry about? What does she have to be anxious about?’ And I’ll never sit here and say I’m not fortunate…[but] I’m still a human being at the end of the day. And no matter what someone has or doesn’t have, it doesn’t mean they don’t have real-life feelings and emotions," she revealed.
