Kendra Wilkinson recently opened up about her experience with mental health struggles and the treatment she underwent for depression. She shared how a panic attack led her to seek help and encouraged others to do the same. After receiving treatment that included medication and therapy, Wilkinson called her journey “extremely awakening” in a new interview with People.
The former Kendra on Top star admitted that she had been struggling with depression and anxiety for a long time but had been trying to handle it on her own. After reaching a breaking point, she ultimately sought help and checked herself into the hospital for treatment. According to Wilkinson, it was a difficult but necessary step in her healing process.
She revealed that her panic attack was triggered by feeling overwhelmed with her responsibilities, including co-parenting her children with her ex-husband and balancing her real estate job. These challenges led her to isolate herself and blame both herself and the world, ultimately leading to her hospitalization.
Wilkinson acknowledged that accepting help and medication was a significant challenge for her. However, she recognized the importance of addressing her mental health issues and sought treatment to focus on the root causes of her depression, working through the underlying issues in therapy.
The reality TV personality also reflected on her struggles during her time in the Playboy Mansion and on the show Girls Next Door, which had a lasting impact on her mental health. Wilkinson admitted to engaging in self-destructive behavior and regretting past decisions, particularly her experiences at a young age.
Despite her regrets and past challenges, Wilkinson expressed her commitment to moving forward and forgiving herself. She highlighted the importance of seeking help for mental health struggles and the transformative impact of accepting treatment. She also emphasized that managing depression is an ongoing process that requires strength and support.
