Anxiety and mental health issues have been a big worry for a long time in our society. Luckily for everyone, it has been in recent years that the awareness of such matters has increased by a big margin and people take all this very seriously. While unfortunately, that was not the case even a few years back. It certainly helps when stars and their family members talk about such things to make it comfortable for everyone else to talk about things.

During the episode of Red Table Talk released in 2019, Jada Smith, wife of Will Smith and their daughter Willow took a tour to the First Family of the NBA, the Curry Family. The mother-daughter duo visited the women of Stephen Curry’s family to talk about everything.

Stephen Curry’s wife said, “I have anxiety too. Really, really bad to the point where I take like medication for it. And I think it’s something like, you know, everybody in some way has moments. And I think like open communication and like putting your feelings out on the line, that helps me a lot. It’s like just letting somebody know, like kinda having an anxiety attack right now.”

Jada asked Willow to share about her struggles and what she does to overcome her mental health issues. They shared how in recent times she had gotten frustrated. She gets frustrated with the energy in her head. So to channel that energy somewhere she shared how she just does some pushups.
