Unit 3: In the public eye 

From living to the full to living in the public eye....

The Happiness Project has taught us that the number one ingredient for being happy is....?

• Do you think celebrities who live In the public eye feel happier than 'us' noncelebrities?
• Why do you think so?

In 2016, Lady Gaga revealed she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during a visit to the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBT youth in New York City."The kindness that's shown to me by doctors as well as my family, and my friends, it's really saved my life," she later said on the "Today" show.

“We’re out of our comfort zones with depression. I certainly was and whenever I have bad days now I speak to someone to get it off my chest. I have no shame telling that and that’s why I’m here today.”

Ricky Hatton, Professional boxer, UK

Multiple world titles at light-welterweight, one at welterweight

Ex-NFL star Ricky Williams is all the proof you need that fame and fortune don't keep depression at bay. "I was 23, a millionaire and had everything, yet I was never more unhappy in my life," he said in an interview with the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). 

"Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner is outspoken about going through an eating disorder, depression, and anxiety.

Speaking to The Times UK in May 2019, Turner said that she struggled with her body image as a teenager, and being in the spotlight didn't help.

"I feel much better," she said. "I've been going to therapy at CAST Centers, actually. I'm on medication and I love myself now, or more than I used to, I think. I don't think I love myself at all, but I'm now with someone that makes me realize that I do have some redeeming qualities, I suppose. And when someone tells you they love you every day, it makes you really think about why that is and I think it makes you love yourself a bit more."
