Ileana DCruz: struggle with depression and body dysmorphic disorder

Recently Ileana D'Cruz revealed that she battled depression and body dysmorphic disorder. Few years ago things weren't the same for her, since she was suffering from depression and even revelead that she struggled with body dysmorphic disorder for 15 long years.

"I was this very self-conscious, shy person once I hit my teens. So I was constantly picked on for my body type. The obsession started when I was about 15; my entire goal was to make sure I was accepted by everyone," revealed Ileana.



"I think that is what I wanted the most. I never got it. I was always like the wallflower. I didn't even know I had a body disorder. So when I started off with acting, it made things a little more worse," added the Rustom actor.

"There was a period; approximately 3 years ago, I had gone from happy to being completely depressed and not knowing what it was. The most comforting thought for me was what if I end things now! And I thankfully realised that this is not right. I never thought I'd be somebody dealing with anxiety or depression," said Ileana.
