Sophie Turner reveals shocking truth about health after divorce
Sophie Turner emphasised the importance of seeking help and talking about mental health openly
Sophie Turner has opened up about the profound impact social media had on her mental health, shedding light on the darker side of constant online attention.
The 29-year-old actress, widely recognised for portraying Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones since 2011, confessed that the pressures of social media took a significant toll on her.
In a candid interview for FLAUNT magazine, she said, “I think social media was really starting to become a big thing after I began on Game of Thrones, so I had a couple of years of peace and quiet before I had to adjust.
It had such a profound impact on my mental health—more than I could ever explain. It almost destroyed me on numerous occasions.”
The Joan star also disclosed that she battled anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder in the years following her rise to fame.
She acknowledged that therapy played a key role in her healing and encouraged others to talk openly about their mental health challenges.
The actress recently returned to London and revealed that she has no plans to leave the UK following her 2023 divorce from singer Joe Jonas.
The pair finalised their split in September last year.
