Ashley Judd has revealed that she did a 47-day stint earlier this year at a Texas treatment centre to overcome lifelong emotional problems.
“I needed help,” Judd told Glamour magazine. “I was in so much pain.”
Judd says she needed help because she was suffering from depression and isolation after a “chaotic” and “dysfunctional” childhood.
Judd, 38, said: “No one had validated my pain before.”
She adds: “I was unhappy, and now I’m happy. Now, even when I’m having a rough day, it’s better than my best day before treatment.”
