Whoopi Goldberg<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people have a fear of flying. However, that fear turns into something much more when you actually witness two planes crash into each other. When the famous actress Whoopi Goldberg was younger, that&#8217;s exactly what she saw. Because of this, she had a very hard time getting onto a plane. She would experience panic attacks and anxiety. That&#8217;s difficult for a person whose job will take her all over the world. She gets help from a therapist and encourages others to do the same, but she travels by land as often as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Kiera Knightly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launching to international fame seems like a dream come true. When it happens, it may not be quite as what you may think. It certainly wasn&#8217;t for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pirates of the Caribbean<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> actress Kiera Knightly. Not only were people rude to the actress online, but the paparazzi were relentless to the point that she was nervous to leave her own home for fear of being accosted. It was never a positive interaction, and she felt like people were looking for negative stories about her. It caused her to experience a mental breakdown at the tender age of 22. In fact, she was forced to take a year off of work and take care of her mental health. Now, she&#8217;s as happy as ever, but she still needs to manage her anxiety. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Ariana Grande<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was just another work night for Ariana Grande in May of 2017. She was on stage entertaining a large group of fans in Manchester, England, when, seemingly out of nowhere, a violent monster set off a bomb and ended up killing 22 innocent people in the audience. Luckily, Grande made it out alive, but she was definitely affected by the experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grande has opened up about how the experience has caused her to develop PTSD. As part of her own personal way of dealing with the issue, she has done her best to address the issue of gun violence head-on. She has even performed at the same theater again. While she tries to focus on the victims who have lost their lives and families, she will deal with the mental implications of what happened for the rest of her life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main things to take away from this is that it&#8217;s not shameful to have PTSD. Many people have it, even celebrities. If you have this disease, it&#8217;s in your best interest to take care of your mental health and get help through a therapist. These celebrities were able to overcome difficult moments and mental illness, even when people weren&#8217;t supportive. You can do it, too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1913778913\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a shockingly popular condition that affects people who have gone through some sort of trauma.
