And to continue: “We need to change the dialogue and talk about mental health.

I say that because I was myself in this case, I was full of rage, anger, all this intergenerational trauma amassed in me”.

She added: "Now that I have a diagnosis, I am drawing a line in the sand (...), I have to change and that is exactly what I am doing."

The British actress then wanted to “thank everyone who helped me”.

She credited her family, friends, series producer Shonda Rhimes and Netflix for "giving her the opportunity and saving me."
