Speaking to New York Daily News, Glenn Close has addressed the issue of mental illness and said that people should stop treating the subject as a taboo and be able to openly talk about it.

Glenn’s sister has a bipolar disorder and the actress wants everyone to understand that mental illness is not something to be ashamed of.

”It is part of the human condition … Actually, because so many people are affected by it, it is something that should be a uniting, hope-filled issue rather than something that people have always been loathed to talk about, and afraid and shamed about it,” she said.
