Olivia Attwood urges fans to seek help if they’re ‘struggling’ as she opens up about her ‘happy pills’

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Attwood has urged fans to seek help if they are “struggling” with their mental health after revealing she takes medication for depression and anxiety.
The 29-year-old star has raised awareness by sharing her morning routine with her fans on her Instagram Story, and she described the medication she takes for her mental health as “happy pills”.
She posted a photo of her daily vitamins, alongside the caption: “I try and drink at least two pints of water soon as I wake up, sometimes with lemons.
“And then I take my vitamins, I rotate what I take quite a lot, but this is today (Oh, and my happy pills of course) (sic)”
The ‘Love Island’ star – who found fame in series three when she finished third with ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes – told fans she started taking the medication five years ago for both anxiety and depression.
She explained: “So, happy pills … unfortunately, no, not something you can just go and buy over the counter – that is my name for the medication I take for anxiety and depression combined.
“I’ve been taking them for nearly five years – on a very low dose now, which I probably could just come off.”
Olivia is contemplating “coming off” the medication when the “world goes back to normal”, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
She continued: “We have spoken about me coming off but it’s just a bit of a security blanket, maybe when the world goes back to normal and everything’s not so unpredictable I will probably come off it but no rush, it’s very normal in 2020.”
Olivia also wrote: “Speak to your doctor if you’re struggling, life is too short to suffer when there is help out there.”
