During the interview, the topic of Dakota's struggle with mental illness came up, to which the actress said she views as a blessing.
"My brain goes to crazy dark places with it... My brain moves at a million miles per minute."
"I’ve struggled with depression since I was young — since I was 15 or 14," she told the publication.
"I guess I have a lot of complexities, but they don’t pour out of me,” she explained.
"I don’t make it anyone else’s problem."
"I've fought with clinical depression my whole life," shared one user.
"I would never call being unable to derive hope, joy, or pleasure from anything as 'feeling the world.' It's so pretty my brain can't get the dopamine it needs!"
"She doesn’t have depression. Feelings of melancholy isn’t depression and I doubt anyone with depression would describe the feelings as 'beautiful'."
"People need to read the entire interview to understand the context, she's speaking in her case. It's the way she's dealing with the problem, finding the beautiful things, or seeing all the things, situations, and people in the most positive way helps," explained one fan.
