5 Current WWE Superstars who admitted to having mental health issues

#2. Alexa Bliss — Very vocal about mental and physical health issues

Few superstars in WWE have been vocal about their mental and physical health issues the way Alexa Bliss has. Even while she was the unpopular multi-time champion who was resented by fans for getting a big push, she used her platform off-screen to openly express the issues that she has had.

The biggest thing she revealed was the anorexia and eating disorder that she suffered from during her teenage years - an issue that nearly led to her death. When speaking to Sports Illustrated during the pandemic, Bliss admitted that she still deals with occasional bad spells of depression:

“I take it day-by-day. Dealing with eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, I’m no stranger to mental illness. Every few years, I deal with a really bad spell of depression. You have to know it doesn’t have to overtake your life."

Bliss is a proud advocate for mental health problems and how it can affect people. She said that she understands her position in the public eye and does the best she can to be in a good place:

“Mental illness can dictate someone’s entire life. I put myself in a position to be in the public eye, but I’m doing what I love. I’ve gone to therapy, I’ve done everything I can do to get my brain in a healthy place.

It can't be denied that superstars like Alexa Bliss with a big platform can directly influence fans. Being vocal about her anorexia, depression, and anxiety and the ongoing battle only makes her more relatable and influential.
