Dunst's bummer
As part of her image restoration, Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst's publicists have launched a blitz saying the Spiderman actress was at Utah's Cirque Lodge for treatment for depression — not drugs or alcohol abuse.
Dunst says:I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression. ... It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself.
I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.
Dunst, who is working on the film "All Good Things" in New York, had developed such a reputation for partying prior to her Cirque visit that wags called her "Drunkst."
She says:
Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.

I thought alcohol was an anti-depressant, medically speaking, so how come someone rich is so depressed?
Alcohol is a depressant. (I am not against moderate use of Alcohol)It does inhibit some higher thought prosses, so people can become temporarily "Happy" Self medication for depression with alcohol is comon.
