1. Chrissy Teigen-postpartum depression
As a successful model, television host, and wife of multi-platinum recording artist John Legend, Teigen, a Utah native, went public in a candid essay published in the April 2017 issue of Glamour Magazine. “I had everything I needed to be happy,” she wrote. “And yet, for much of the last year, I felt unhappy. What basically everyone around me--but me--knew up until December was this: I have postpartum depression.” Teigen finished her essay explaining why she chose to speak up now. “I want people to know it can happen to anybody, and I don’t want people who have it to feel embarrassed or to feel alone.”
