Zendaya talks about experiencing persistent existential sadness due to pandemic

American actor Zendaya is opening up about how she had to prioritize her mental health owing to the fame and stardom that she grew up in.

During an interview with British Vogue, the Spider-Man actor, 25, spoke about going to therapy and recommended everyone to give it a try as well.

"Of course I go to therapy. I mean, if anybody is able to possess the financial means to go to therapy, I would recommend they do that. I think it’s a beautiful thing,” said the Euphoria actor.

"There’s nothing wrong with working on yourself and dealing with those things with someone who can help you, someone who can talk to you, who’s not your mom or whatever. Who has no bias,” said the former Disney star.

She further spoke about how the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown that subsequently followed led her towards feeling persistent existential sadness.

"[It was the] first kind of taste of sadness where you wake up and you just feel bad all day, like what the [expletive] is going on? What is this dark cloud that’s hovering over me and I don’t know how to get rid of it, you know?”
