10. Carrie Fisher – Bipolar Disorder
This actress and author is best known for portraying Princess Leia in the original Star Wars movies. Fisher’s struggle with bipolar disorder (as well as drug and alcohol addictions) has both inspired some of her work and led to breakdowns.
The most recent episode was on a cruise ship in February 2013. While giving a comedy routine, a manic episode reached its peak, causing her to reenter treatment. According to Daily Mail, Fisher declared, “I went off the rails. I don’t really remember what I did.”
However, instead of letting this incident take her down, Fisher has been honest, but optimistic about her future. Forbes honored her in 2011 for her mental illness advocacy. In an interview with WebMD, she stated her thoughts about having bipolar disorder: “I define it, rather than it defining me.”
