The News Breakfast weather presenter was forced to halt his report in the middle of Tuesday morning's broadcast after suffering a panic attack. Following the on-air attack, Jackie O Henderson shared her own past struggles with the disorder.
Other high profile stars including Carrie Bickmore and Osher Günsberg have also admitted to their own private struggles with anxiety. Women's mental health organisation the Liptember Foundation revealed this week that a quarter of Australian women are likely living with a severe disorder - a figure that has remained constant since 2022. The Australian Bureau Of Statistics' National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing has also indicated that almost one in five males had a 12-month mental disorder in 2020-2022.
Celebrities are now impacting and inspiring more honest discussions about mental health and removing the stigma from these issues. Here is a look at some Australian celebrities who have spoken up about their private mental health struggles. Jac.
