Shed The Costume. Don Your True Self

The emotional ups and downs are a part of the acting profession, if not balanced right, they lead to mental health concerns that hamper the original personality.

First Session rs99

The common issues faced

Depression
Performance Anxiety
Personality Disorders
Addictions
Bipolar Disorder
Body Dysmorphia
Social Anxiety
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Depression

The uncertainty of the profession, extreme competition and difficulties of a stable earning through acting are some of the few factors that lead to major depression among actors.

Performance Anxiety

Commonly known as stage fright, actors are often under extreme nervousness until they get comfortable in their characters. The need to prove their acting skills flawlessly adds to the anxiety.

Personality Disorders

Higher measures of personality disorder traits have been found among actors. Forgetting self and adorning various personalities on stage confuse their brain about their true personality traits.

Addictions

The easy access of substances and peer pressure within the acting industry get actors habituated sooner. The stress, burnout, pressure of their career drives them towards the comfort and relaxation of substances.

Bipolar Disorder

The emotional rollercoasters the actors ride on each day get their hormones, neurotransmitters and behaviour patterns unstable. After a point, their mood swings are irrelevant and cannot be controlled easily.

Body Dysmorphia

The unrealistic images of a perfect body set up by the film industry compel actors to change their body and fit in. Meanwhile, they begin disliking their own body and appearance to the point where they cannot look in the mirror.

Social Anxiety

Constantly being surrounded by people, reporters, etc get the actors’ nerves riled up. The lack of privacy and peace make the actors uncomfortable and anxious. Continuously being followed by multiple sets of eyes can make one overly conscious and uncomfortable.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Intense roles, extremely emotional scenes, onset injuries and ending of shoot cause trauma to actors on a deeper level. Trauma that they may not be able to process or express in a healthy manner.

Cater to Your Mental Health

Future of the issues if not dealt with:

Depression

Long term depression results in risky behaviour, reduction in functionality, addictions, suicidal ideation, anhedonia, loss of appetite and physical illnesses.

Performance Anxiety

Ignored performance anxiety is the cause of low self-esteem, reduced productivity and an overall feeling of worthlessness.

Personality Disorders

Untreated personality disorders hamper interpersonal relationships, social functioning and occupational productivity leading to a state of dysfunction in severe cases.

Addictions

Apart from the physical harm caused by addictions, the mental side effects include major changes in brain functioning, psychosis, extreme dependency and lack of functionality.

Bipolar Disorder

If bipolar disorder is not attended to, the fluctuations between phases become more frequent and the episodes increase in severity.

Body Dysmorphia

Body dysmorphia affects the food habits and hampers the physical health if not dealt with in its early stages. It leads to severe depression, social anxiety and self-harm behavioural patterns

Social Anxiety

If not overcome, social anxiety interferes with relationships, work and causes self-related issues.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

If left untreated, PTSD can cause social withdrawal, emotional numbness, health issues, pessimistic attitude and other psychological concerns.

FAQs

1. Do actors have mental health problems?

Research proves that actors experience significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress than the general population. Raw emotion or unresolved emotions conjured up for acting may result in sleep deprivation, anger, depression, anxiety and the cyclical nature of the ensuing side effects. Sleep deprivation alone can lead to impaired function, causing some individuals to “acute episodes of psychosis”

2. What happens to an actor's brain when acting?

Activity in a part of the brain associated with self-knowledge and self-perception drops off when actors are performing. The finding of research suggests that playing the part of another character results in a loss of self, they say.

3. Why do actors have mental problems?

Actors experience trauma through their acting experiences – they are so emotionally, intellectually and physically immersed in their roles that it can be difficult to switch off. Some report having nightmares and intrusive thoughts related to their roles.
