There were a number of rumors about David Harbour during the filming of Stranger Things 5.. Now the star is being interviewed and opening up in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY about his personal mental health since 1999…
“I have been in therapy since I got sober in 1999,” Harbour shared in a Future of Personal Health article, per Entertainment Weekly. “When I quit drinking, it forced me to confront a lot of demons that rose to the surface,” Harbour added, emphasizing how important therapy has been for him in getting through.
The 50-year-old Netflix star noted he “has not had a manic flare-up since I started psychoanalysis with a good therapist.”
Describing those episodes, Harbour explained that his thoughts become “disordered and chaotic,” with meaningless details suddenly taking on significance.
He added that the flare-ups were accompanied by what he described as a “fundamental narcissism,” which made him feel like the center of everything.
According to Harbour, a recent change in his approach has made a significant difference. “Only recently have I started intense psychotherapy, and it has made a world of difference in my treatment,” he said.
