38. Paula Dean Has Dealt With Anxiety And Depression
The Food Network star and a former contender on Dancing With The Stars would have never found the success that she now has had she never sought treatment for severe anxiety. It became so bad that by the time she was only 20 years old, she would not even leave the house to buy the ingredients to cook her meals.
Since seeking treatment, her career as a professional chef has taken off. She is beloved all over the world for her Southern cooking and charm, along with poise and charisma. Unlike others who sought treatment while in the public limelight, she received her first television contract after recovering, proving that there is a new life waiting on the other side of mental illness.
