Kirsten Dunst explains her stint at Cirque Lodge treatment center in Utah was for depression and not for drugs, as the rumors would have you believe. Kirsten stated that she is better place now and is able to speak out, where as before when she was in treatment she kept silent because she couldn’t talk about it. She is saying a whole lot now!

I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge. There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and this has been very painful for my friends and family.

The starlet had waited 6 months before seeking help and her doctor was the one that recommended the treatment center in Utah made famous by treating Lindsay Lohan last year. Kirsten says that first and foremost she wants the world to know that celebrities are not different than anyone else and that “we are all in the same boat.” Depression can affect anyone.

Best of wishes Ms. Dunst, for continued health and getting the help you need.
