Renowned actress Sharon Stone recently opened up about her ongoing battle with mental health issues during an interview. The 66-year-old star revealed that she, like many others, struggles with confronting personal demons and continuously strives to overcome challenges.
Stone, who actively collaborates with the World Health Organization, highlighted the prevalence of mental health crises on a global scale, with one in 10 individuals experiencing such struggles.
Expressing her belief in the importance of individual responsibility, Stone emphasized the need for personal growth and resilience rather than solely relying on political figures for solutions. She encouraged self-improvement, resilience, and the practice of instant forgiveness towards oneself.
During the interview, Stone also became emotional when discussing her advocacy work for marginalized communities. She recounted her experience of receiving the Peace Summit Award in 2013 for her efforts in supporting individuals affected by HIV and AIDS, expressing a deep connection with the cause and a sense of belonging among like-minded individuals.
Stone's candid revelations come in the wake of her recent disclosure regarding a past incident where a movie producer allegedly pressured her to engage in sexual activities to enhance a co-star's performance. The actress has since shifted her focus to painting, dedicating approximately 17 hours a day to her art, and expressed a willingness to return to acting only for roles that hold significant meaning and impact.
