This is the first time we've heard Kirsten Dunst talk about her quiet stay at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah. She admits that she was in trouble and struggling with the addiction. 

"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."

So why now? Why open up about such a private matter today? Kirsten feels better and stronger these days.

"Now that I'm feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something ... Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about."
