In an interview with Dr. Phil on his podcast "Phil in the Blanks," she said started to become depressed around age 17. "The biggest challenge is just for me getting out of bed and getting out of the house and learning to love yourself I think is the biggest challenge," said the now 23-year-old.
She said she felt alone after her friends and brothers moved away for college, while she was working on "Game of Thrones" and living with her parents. Social media became a "catalyst" for her depression, she said."It only started to kind of go downhill I think when I started to hit puberty, and really puberty, though, at like 17," she said.
