US actress gives coronavirus mental health advice

Oscar-winning US actress shares mental health advice in the wake of coronavirus outbreak, advising public to write more.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Emma Stone releases advice for those struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Many of us are dealing with isolation, anxiety and uncertainty during this COVID-19 crisis, and this includes the 17 million kids and teens in America — that's one in five — who have a mental health disorder," she said in a video footage.

“Something I really like to do when I'm struggling with anxiety is a brain dump. What I do is just write down anything that I'm worried about," she said in the clip, adding, "I just write and write and write and I don't think about it and I don't read it back. I find it's really, really helpful for me to get it all out on paper."

Stone is recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. She was the world's highest-paid actress in 2017.
