Gina Rodriguez
Gina Rodriguez first rose to fame when she became the star of the hit show Jane The Virgin. When she was just 19, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, which is a common cause of hypothyroidism. She opened up about her experience.
When she first found out, she said that she “rejected the fact that she had a disease.” Hashimoto’s causes an under-active thyroid. Rodriguez said it caused her to gain weight and experience memory issues. She combats it by taking medication and maintaining a healthy diet and staying active.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
In 2011, Catherine Zeta-Jones’ husband, Michael Douglas, was diagnosed with throat cancer. This led to Zeta-Jones depression being triggered, and she was later diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder. As bipolar disorder can be triggered by stress.
Her husband’s health suffering surely helped trigger the disorder’s symptoms for her. Shortly after his diagnosis, Zeta-Jones checked into a mental health facility to help get her life under control. She went back into a mental health treatment facility once again in 2013 to get help.
