After the surprise revelation last week that Catherine Zeta-Jones had received treatment for bipolar II disorder, the actress appears on the cover of People magazine this week and discusses her struggle.
"This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them," she told People in a statement. "If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."
Zeta-Jones checked in to Silver Hill Hospital - a mental health facility in New Canaan, Connecticut -- in April, a few months after her husband, Michael Douglas, was deemed free of cancer after enduring a long battle with throat cancer.
