Bella Hadid discusses her mental health difficulties.

The 25-year-old model admits to having suffered from severe anxiety in her adolescence and admits to engaging in hazardous practises to relieve her stress.

Speaking to i-D magazine, she said: “Growing up, I thought it was normal that I had this chronic anxiety and this disassociation, crying every day and not knowing who I was.

“Whether it was eating disorders or smoking a pack of Marlboros since the age of fourteen, I’m like, “Oh, this is what all of the kids are doing”.’

“I realised that maybe that was me trying to figure out why I felt that way. And in reality, all I needed was therapy,” added Hadid.
