21 Celebrities Who Struggled With Depression
17. TIM GUNN
Tim Gunn is a celebrated fashion icon, teacher, author and television personality, as well as a voice actor. He served as chair of fashion design at the prestigious Parsons The New School for Design and then joined the cast of Project Runway as a mentor. Following his success on the show, he made his own spin-off called Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, and later also Under the Gunn for Lifetime television.
However, the remarkably composed Gunn has not always been so content and fulfilled, especially when he was a teenager. As a gay teen, he struggled with self-acceptance and felt isolated from the rest of society, and at one point decided to commit suicide by swallowing more than 100 pills. Fortunately, the suicide attempt was unsuccessful. Today, Gunn is very outspoken about his former struggles with depression and makes a point of assuring young people with similar problems that it does get better and that suicide is never, ever a solution.
