Mood Disorders
I used to think that I was weak for feeling anxious and depressed. But now I realize that it takes a lot of strength to feel everything so deeply. It's not a weakness to be sensitive. It's actually a superpower. We just need to learn how to harness it and use it to create positive change in the world. - Zendaya, Source: Interview with InStyle Magazine, September 2021
