The truth about Kirsten Dunst's recovery

She said:

“I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse,” Dunst tells me exclusively during a lunch break on All Good Things. “I went there for depression.”

The 26-year-old Hollywood veteran makes a point of explaining that while she consulted doctors along with family and friends about treatment, it was ultimately her decision to make.

“It was a good six months before I decided to go away,” Dunst says. “I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”

Dunst says she’s decided to go public with her depression and treatment because she’s not the only one who finds herself facing the ongoing—and often nasty—speculation in the press and elsewhere.

Most recently, erroneous reports alleged she was fired as the face of Miu Miu because of her personal problems, when in fact Dunst’s six-month work with the fashion house was never intended to go any further than it did.

“There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family,” she says. “Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumors, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something.”

While naysayers out there may groan that a young, wealthy Hollywood starlet should have nothing to be depressed about, Dunst says mental illness doesn’t know any such boundaries. “We’re all in the same boat together,” she opines. “Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.”

Hopefully, the very personal revelation will encourage people to stop speculating and move on—while allowing Dunst to focus on making her next movie. And speaking of that project, Dunst also scoffs at claims that there’s an on-set romance brewing between her and her hunky All Good Things costar. “I am not,” she says with a laugh, “dating Ryan Gosling!”

it said on perez hilton that she might be lying because cirque lodge usually won't treat you unless you have alchol/drug addiction on top of depression. but hopefully she isn't lying. i love kirsten, i hope she gets better and i am looking forward to seeing her out and about.!

I will NEVER believe Mk went there for drug addiction, never!! Everyone saw her struggling and her pain...In an interview she also said that at one point she thought she was gonna die for anorexia. I'm sure she would have never lied on that.
And also now, I believe to Kirsten's words...journalists always tries to speculate on celebrieties' lives but, damn, they're human too!

i'm sure that she did have an eating disorder, but i really wouldn't be surprised if drugs played a part in it as well. even just being in college if you start to hang out with those kind of people it can be really easy to fall into the world of drugs and you don't really realize it or have the intention of doing it in the first place. i've seen a lot of people get messed up because their friends are doing it, and that is just from being in college. im sure the pressure while youre famous, especially someone like MK, is multiplied by 100 times that. again not saying that she didnt have an eating disorder, obviously she did, or that she's totally cracked out, i'm just saying it can be very easy to wind up down that road without realizing it.
