Is Dove Cameron OK? Fans became worried about the actress after she posted a photo of herself crying to Instagram on Tuesday, March 3.
Captioning it with the crying emoji, the former Descendants star shared an up-close snap of her face, which showed a single tear rolling down her cheek.
Her followers were quick to flood the comment section with messages of support. One wrote, “You are strong, you are amazing, you are beautiful, you are inspiring, you are brilliant, you are so talent, you are so human, you are so real. Thank you for being you! I am so proud of the woman you became.”
“I know you’re working right now so please try to keep your head up, OK? I love you more than anything in the world, and you have made my life so much better,” another concerned fan added. “I love you, Dove.”
As fans know, the 24-year-old has been pretty open about her mental health issues in the past. Back in July 2019, she told Seventeen, “I would call myself incredibly anxious, and I have dealt with depression. And I do have episodes of absolutely what feels like mania or something that is like I’m all of a sudden in the pits of despair. I can’t get myself out. I’m on the floor and I’m crying. I was scared when I was younger to talk about certain topics because there are a lot of people in this industry that tell you not to speak about a lot of things. Then as you get older you’re kind of like, wait, no, maybe I know better. Maybe I don’t care about what you think. Maybe the risk is much less important than the gain. And I think so much normalcy would come from demystifying a lot in our own personal lives for younger people to look at.”
The Liv and Maddie alum also spoke out about it in a series of tweets in November 2019.
“Just out of another therapy/intensive trauma session. Feeling a bit lighter, but also heavily reminded of just how much real work I have to do/pain I have to untangle,” she wrote on Twitter. “This life is hard, y’all. And mental health/needing help is nothing to be ashamed of. Take care of yourselves.”

“Also: I know therapy isn’t something everyone has access to/can afford, and I wish that wasn’t the case. But in whatever way you can, whatever you have access to — please prioritize your inner state/mental health,” the blonde beauty continued. “Before you can help anyone else, you must help yourself. You matter.”
