“Came to the conclusion that I struggle with depression:/ you aren’t alone,” the 19-year-old tweeted.
Many of her fans pointed out the severity of the mental health issue and told her that reaching her own “conclusion” was not the same as getting a diagnosis from a doctor.
“Huge fan but unless you’ve been diagnosed don’t go throwing the word around, depression is a serious matter,” one user wrote.
However, Thorne still received messages of support from her followers, who thanked her for sharing.
“I know that’s a tough thing to admit but I feel like it’s one step towards coping with it. Stay strong,” a fan wrote.
Another user wrote, “I understand you. Thank you for sharing this, you’re a human too my love.”
