Madelaine Petsch is speaking out about her mental health in 2020.

In a new interview, the 26-year-old Riverdale actress shared that her breakup from Travis Mills and the pandemic really took a toll on her at the start of the year.

“My mental health was at an all time low,” she told Flaunt magazine. “Every day was definitely a challenge and therapy was absolutely key for me to keep sane. My best friend moved in with me and that was a huge game changer for my mental health. I found ways to be creative while staying positive and reading books. I read this book called ‘Vibrate Higher Daily,’ and it’s basically about how to radiate positivity. And I found more books to help me navigate.”

Madelaine also opened up about how she didn’t really know who she was while not working.

“It really took me probably five months through this whole pandemic to get back to an okay mental state,” she said. “I had a lot of anxiety over quarantine, and I felt like without my job and without Riverdale, I didn’t know what my identity was. I’m saying this because I don’t want anyone to feel like they’re alone. I’m in the same boat and I feel it, and I’m right there with them.”

Some things that Madelaine did to help her through it, besides having her bestie by her side – meditating, checking in with friends, talking to her mom and reading. She also kept up with “The Five Minute Journal” and made sure to remind herself three things that she was grateful.

Selena Gomez is opening up about her mental health and deleting social media.

The 28-year-old actress, singer and producer shared about revealing her struggles with anxiety and depression publicly.

“For me, I had to give up social media… so I would go through these periods when I wouldn’t [use my accounts],” Selena said in a joint interview with her mom Mandy Teefey with The Newsette. “But I got so angry that my story was twisted into so many different things. The first time I posted [again], I was like, ‘I claim my own story, so if you don’t hear it from me, then it’s not true. Did I go and get help? Yes I did. But I’m not ashamed. I feel better and I feel like I can understand a lot of things now.’”

“I think that was my moment when I knew [nobody] was going to take my story away from me. And I really do believe that I made the circle, if you will, of making the media look like s–t if they’re making fun of someone who has mental health issues,” she continued.

“I don’t really care what people think about me. On my own social media, I got to tell the truth. And once I started claiming my own name, I think people understood my mental health journey,” Selena went on. “Now I get to support other people, and with the Rare Impact Fund, we’re pledging to donate $100 million in 10 years to mental health causes, so now I get to talk more openly about mental health to hopefully help others.”

Noah Centineo is speaking out about dealing with depression and anxiety.

The 24-year-old actor revealed at Advertising Week 2020 that he was feeling anxious and depressed before he co-founded the Favored Nations organization.

“It’s not about getting in wherever I can into people’s phones at home, it’s about going inside of myself and [saying], ‘How can I feel okay? How do I feel?’” he shared about using his social media platform for his work with Favored Nations.

“There was a time when I wasn’t doing any of this, and I had financial security, and I didn’t have to worry about my survival, yet I was depressed, so anxious, and so unhappy with my life, and I didn’t know why that was,” Noah said.

“And it wasn’t until I went inward and went, ‘Oh, it’s because you’re living for yourself and only for yourself,’ that I discovered that I should probably do something,” he continued. “I couldn’t even look in the mirror.. How am I supposed to walk around if I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror?”

“This whole concept is really rooted from a place of being selfishly selfless so that I can get up in the morning and feel good about what I’m doing with my life.”

Selena Gomez is opening up once again about the importance of mental health.

The 28-year-old entertainer, who has been open about her battles, is dishing on the hardest part of seeking treatment.

“I’ve tried a ton of different things, but the one thing I’ve never stopped doing is asking for help,” Selena told People. “That was the hardest part, but I truly believe that that’s why I’m stronger. This is something that is the most important thing in the world to me ’cause it’s my mental health.”

She also shared what she does when she’s having a tough day.

“The first thing I do is find space alone, because I [tend to] push and push myself so I don’t have to think about my feelings,” Selena dished. “I’ll go to my room, lie down, drink some water and take a few deep breaths. Then if I need a friend, I call a friend. If I need my therapist, I call my therapist. On top of the heavy stuff, it’s important to just take time with yourself and be gentle. I know it can seem like bulls–t, but it’s true!”

Nessa Barrett is getting candid about her mental health.

In a new interview, the 18-year-old “Pain” singer revealed that she has bipolar and anxiety disorders.

“I have generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar [disorder],” she told ET. “I’ve been in therapy for anxiety since I was, like, six. And then when I was about 14, I was misdiagnosed with depression. And then I recently have been diagnosed with bipolar.”

“I’m just a teenager that is still growing and learning, and they’re all watching me,” Nessa added. “So there are gonna be times where I do make mistakes and people are very hard when it comes to that. And no matter how sincere or sorry that I can be, I’m still going to get criticized for everything that I do, which is hard but I learned that the hard way.”

Nessa also dished about how she dealt with online bullying and ditching apps.

“For my mental health, I realized that reading those comments and seeing those comments just wasn’t healthy,” she said. “There was a point where I had deleted all my apps and would only re-download them to post. And then as soon as my stuff was posted, I’d delete them again so I wouldn’t have to look at all the comments, any DM’s.”

Cole Sprouse is back from his time in Tulum, Mexico!

The 27-year-old Riverdale star took some time away to step back and focus on his mental health.

Cole shared his reflections in a new post on Instagram, his first in a month.

“Know I’ve been off of social media for a while. Decided to take a much needed mental health break,” Cole wrote. “I’ve never been the most active user of social media, but even the minor amount I had been engaging during quarantine had become a bit too taxing.”

“Work is slowly beginning to pick back up within a new normal. And as someone who has only ever really known work their entire life, I found that I’m best on a schedule,” he continued. “Knowing when to step away like I did in college, and when to re-engage is a fundamental skill for any young performer. Take your breaks. Mental and physical health always come first.”

“In time we’ll all be able to see more clearly what this pandemic actually is- a massive global trauma. The effects of which have, in no small way, been encouraged tremendously by the failings of the US,” Cole added. “We’re in the midst of a huge election, and I encourage everyone here in the United States to deeply consider our “modern” medical health care system. I’ll be more active soon my sweet little babies~”
