Dakota Johnson has opened up about her battle with her mental health and says she is trying to find the ''beautiful'' in her struggles.
The 30-year-old Fifty Shades of Grey actress admits she has ''struggled'' with depression since she was a teenager.
In a candid interview with Marie Claire magazine, Johnson said: ''I've struggled with depression since I was young - since I was 15 or 14. That was when, with the help of professionals, I was like, 'Oh, this is a thing I can fall into.'
"But I've learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world. I guess I have a lot of complexities, but they don't pour out of me. I don't make it anyone else's problem.''

The actress, who is currently promoting her new movie The High Note, has been dating Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, since 2017.
Johnson made her directorial debut with the band's music video for Cry Cry Cry, and admits she didn't get any preferential treatment.
"I wrote the story and pitched it to the band like every other director did, and they chose mine — not because they’re partial to me at all," she noted in the interview.
