Actress tells of being bipolar

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES has opened up about suffering from bipolar disorder.

The 41-year-old actress said there was no need to “suffer” in silence and she hoped the publicity surrounding her treatment — she checked into rehab after helping husband Michael Douglas battle throat cancer — might help others.

She told US magazine People: “This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them. If my revelation of having Bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it.”
