Number 10: Britney Spears
Born December 2nd 1981, Britney Spears in an American singer, dancer and actress who became famous with tracks like Oops!...I Did It Again and Baby One More Time. Her outstanding career came to an abrupt halt in 2007, though, when she experienced a highly-publicized mental breakdown. Since then, Britney has spoken about how crippling anxiety resulted in her being institutionalized due to her fragile mental state. One of her most reckless acts leading up to her breakdown was when she was caught driving around with her baby son on her lap. After a number of very public incidents – including completely shaving her head – Britney was forced to acknowledge that she needed to dedicate more time to herself and her mental health. Thankfully, Britney managed to make it through and it now in a happy place, with a nightly show on Las Vegas Blvd!
Number 9: Demi Lovato.
Born August 20th 1992, Demi Lovato is an American singer, songwriter and actress famous for roles in Barney & Friends, Camp Rock and for her work on the The X Factor. Lovato has suffered from depression, self-harm, an eating disorder and was a victim of bullying. After struggling without a diagnosis for some years, Lovato hit rock bottom and was admitted for treatment where she was diagnosed with bipolar depression. For those of you who don’t know, Bipolar disorder affects just over 12.5 million people in the US and about 29 million people worldwide. That’s a lot of people! The condition is normally diagnosed when someone experiences at least one manic episode, and involves both manic and depressive episodes.  Thankfully Lovato’s treatment plan worked and she now works as a mental health ambassador to help other people. 
Number 8: Angelina Jolie.
Born June 4th 1975, Angelina Jolie is a famous actress, filmmaker and humanitarian activists. She has appeared in many of high profile films like Tomb Raider and Mr & Mrs Smith, and she has been noted as being one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. Jolie has used her fame to champion a number of humanitarian issues like child poverty, women’s rights, human rights and environmental work. But even the most famous celebrity can suffer with mental health conditions. After struggling with mental health issues as a teen, Jolie later said she felt feelings of emptiness and depression. It is perhaps not surprising that it was her humanitarian work that gave meaning and guidance to her life. 
Number 7: Howie Mandel.
Born on the 29th of November 1955, Mandel is a famous comedian and actor who has appeared as game show hosts on Deal or No Deal and as a judge America’s Got Talent. He’s also the wonderful voice of Bobby, from Bobby’s World! Mandel has openly discussed his extreme case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and how he has a fear of contamination and germs. He even shaves his head because he believes it’s cleaner. Unfortunately, he is so affected by his condition that he does not shake hands with anyone, and when he is forced to, he has to wear latex gloves. During his time of Deal or No Deal he would fist bump the contestants instead of shaking their hands. Sadly, some have used his condition to mock him on TV and there have been a number of occasions where he has refused to shake someone’s hand and he’s even had his hand grabbed by other performers – which is not a nice thing to do to someone with a this type of phobia. Although he has struggled with it from childhood he didn’t seek help until he was an adult. 
Number 6: Mary Todd Lincoln.
Born December 13th 1818, Mary Todd Lincoln was the First Lady of the United States and wife to President Abraham Lincoln. Sadly she was a witness to her husband’s fatal shooting and outlived two of her sons. Losing so many of her family brought overpowering feelings of grief and 10 years later she was involuntarily institutionalized for depression and pernicious anemia.
