At the age of 18, Sarah was diagnosed with clinical depression. Opening up about her health, the 59-year-old said that her early twenties were "a write-off" due to her "absolutely debilitating" mental state.Describing her breakdown as a "time bomb waiting to go off," she recalled the tough period in a previous interview. "Every day I was hysterical at the thought of getting out of bed, but I made myself.
"My family knew, but I certainly didn't tell anybody at the studios, and I didn’t take any time off," she said. "I was terrified of being judged and misunderstood. I just battled along."It was the worst thing I could have done. Being in the public eye makes you frightened to talk openly about things – which is precisely why you should.
