Kirsten Dunst Opens Up About Rehab

Kirsten Dunst is finally opening up about her stay at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah earlier this year.

Kirsten has admitted that she found help for her battle with depression, not for drug or alcohol abuse.

“I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself,” Dunst, 26, tells E! Online. “I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too.”

“She does drink and she does have wild nights, but that was never the root of her issues,” a source close to Dunst tells PEOPLE. “She couldn’t control her depression.”

Another friend told PEOPLE that the actress had been feeling low for some time when she entered the treatment facility in February. “She’s been crying a lot lately, ” said the friend. “Everybody hits that bottom where you feel [so] scared that that one heavy night of partying can really wake you up. It’s good she’s getting herself help.”

When asked why she is now talking about her trip to rehab, Kirsten said, “Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something … Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.”
