Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds shared a personal message as he commemorated Mental Health Awareness Month. The Deadpool actor has released a statement detailing his battle with anxiety. He assured fans and followers struggling with their mental health they are not alone.
Ryan wrote, “May is almost over. It’s also Mental Health Awareness month. One of the reasons I’m posting this so late is I over-schedule myself and important things slip.

He concluded, “We don’t talk enough about mental health and don’t do enough to destigmatize talking about it. But, as with this post, better late than never, I hope…”
