Catherine Zeta-Jones is a modern-day Hollywood bombshell who, in 2011, publicly acknowledged that she has been seeking treatment for bipolar II disorder. Bipolar II is characterized by more severe depression and less mania than its counterpart, bipolar I. 

Though Zeta-Jones has been public about proactively seeking treatment to help her manage her diagnosis, she is not as forthcoming as other celebrities, like Demi Lovato. She doesn’t want to be the face of the illness and prefers instead to focus on her film career and personal life.
