Celebrities can spark change when they speak up about their health
- One day, when actor and comedian Rosie O'Donnell was in her 50s, her body ached and her arms felt sore, but she pushed through the pain, not realizing she was having a massive heart attack. She had surgery to put in a stent that saved her life.
The article from MSN discusses how celebrities can significantly influence public health awareness by sharing their personal health struggles. It highlights that when stars like Selena Gomez, who has spoken about her lupus and mental health issues, or Demi Lovato, who has been open about her battles with addiction and eating disorders, share their stories, they not only destigmatize these conditions but also encourage others to seek help.
