Bella Hadid Reveals Long-Running 'All-Consuming' Anxiety and Depression

Her Instagram message recasts vulnerability as strength, urging those struggling to seek help.

Overview

  • On October 12, the 29-year-old model said her anxiety and depression have felt "all-consuming," "paralyzing," and often invisible to others.
  • She described past shame but said she now views her sensitivity, awareness and empathy as strengths rather than a flaw.
  • Hadid told followers they are not alone and encouraged anyone struggling to ask for help.
  • Citing her UNICEF work, she noted many children and families carry similar trauma without access to care and safety.
  • The disclosure follows recent posts about her 13-year battle with Lyme disease, including hospital images shared last month, and echoes an earlier 2021 discussion of her mental health.
