Hello

How about Margaret Trudeau from Canada she is the the wife of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. Her life has been filled
with many interesting experiences to say the least, and a very hard loss of her son as well as her husband.
She suffers from Bipolar Disorder and has had postpartum depression.--2010 book, "Changing My Mind."

or

Elizabeth Manley , the pressures of training, coupled with her inability to voice her true feelings, crippled the teenaged Manley by the 1982-1983 skating season.
Around that time, Manley's coach left her unexpectedly The coach-less 17-year-old was then sent to train in the United States, away from her mother, family and friends. With the Sarajevo Olympics just a year and a half away, Manley felt utterly alone. That feeling was magnified by the divorce of her parents. It wasn't long before Manley's body began to crack under such pressure. Despite her stringent diet and gruelling training schedule, Manley suddenly gained 20 lbs. The teenager's hair also began to fall out in clumps.

"It was telling me and everyone around me that something was very, very wrong. That's when I knew I needed to reach out for help and find out what was wrong with me," she said. she was diagnosed with having a nervous breakdown and depression. Ironically, the diagnosis proved to be much tougher for those around her than Manley herself. "For me this was an illness, just like any other illness. I needed help. I got treatment. I was going to be okay. But people around me suddenly began to disappear from my life. They didn't know how to deal with this disease, or me. There was a huge stigma attached to this disease at the time," said Manley. Today, Manley looks back on her battle with depression with gratitude.--1990 autobiography, "Thumbs Up!"

Thanks for the consideration

Old thread, but I was looking to post this somewhere. I just listened to a recent Nerdist podcast episode with Jim Norton. He goes into some sexual addiction stuff, and it was interesting. I think he might be a good guest.

Also Andy Dick.

Here's one from left field... Buzz Aldrin. After he came back from the Moon he struggled with depression and alcoholism. His book "Magnificant Desolation" is about his post-Apollo struggles. Plus he's damn cool and a true bad-ass.
