I'm not sure which year it was publicly announced, but even in just a brief scan today online I found loads of sources. I think later she minimized this as chronic depression in many interviews, understandably so. Bipolar too often "brands" you as unfit for work and it's great that she had a chance to do that Missing TV show this year. But really, just do a little research, okay? :)<br /><br />Media Insider aka JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-37913597551278152302012-12-04T21:11:49.598-09:002012-12-04T21:11:49.598-09:00Rumored bi-polar slams aside, what people are not ...Rumored bi-polar slams aside, what people are not considering is that dear Mitch himself is very vulnerable. Considering that he has never won landslide elections in KY, and that he actually lost a number of Senators in the election, he's a prime target for a TParty candidate take over. Dems in KY should be quietly promoting that as McCaskill did in MO. Let's see - Ashley Judd - TP crazy? My bet would be for Ashley's victory. And she'd be great.

One website called "Shame the Celebrity" says it is "rumored". According to a WebMD site, Ms Judd acknowledged that she was treated for depression on 2006.

We have a very bad public attitude about mental illness and most people see the word "bipolar" and think it means "unfit for office." Her brutal opponents would use this to destroy her chances because they have no shame.<br /><br />Also, (heinous lie, rumor, rumor) she does supposedly have some real problems with regulating her condition, as so many with this illness do. Movie set reports I've been privy to say that stress makes it much worse for her, and can you imagine the stress of a real campaign and the strain it would put on her? Remember the pics that were going around in not that long ago when she was being horribly criticized in the tabs about her "puffy face?" She was on a different med then and probably on a newer med now. It takes a lot to manage this condition and having to tweak, readjust, or change your meds is very common. This results in times when you can be very uneven as your brain chemistry has to sort of reset itself; this makes it very hard to work regularly and also it makes it hard not to come off as a bitch and piss of a lot of people periodically -- as my heinous lie sources say Ashley has done on sets numerous times (probably due to her illness.)<br /><br />Wish her the best, though. I wish more smart ladies like her would take a stab at politics.<br /><br />Media Insider aka JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-90120726301658159472012-12-04T10:24:35.412-09:002012-12-04T10:24:35.412-09:00I'm stoked about this too!
