What did Millie Bobby Brown say about her battle with depression?
During her interaction on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the 22-year-old actress addressed the post-finale dynamics with cast members of the Stranger Things show. She stated, "It was very hard for me. I would not have expected that coming off of the show. I'm a very happy-go-lucky person."
She further said, "They probably thought I was crazy. I was like, 'We're still friends, right? Like, you're not going to stop talking to me anymore?'
