7 Celebrities Get Real About Their Struggles With Anxiety

Lena Dunham is a champion for both body positivity and mental health awareness. While filming season five of Girls, she took to Instagram to explain the brain-body connection that keeps her in the gym. “[Exercise] has helped with my anxiety in ways I never dreamed possible,” she wrote. “To those struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression: I know it’s mad annoying when people tell you to exercise, and it took me about 16 medicated years to listen. I’m the ass, it’s about the brain.” (Tone up, beat stress, and feel great with Rodale’s new With Yoga DVD.)
