Our girl Tegan has opened up in a candid video on her Instagram page, sharing with the world about her depression diagnosis in a bid to urge others to run it straight when it comes to looking after their mental health.
In a post on Monday night, Tegs revealed she had been on a very tough journey to deal with anxiety and depression, after being diagnosed with it earlier this year.
"I'm still working through it, but I'm getting there," she said. "It's not something that just fixes itself overnight."Ā
Tegan wrote in her post:

Much love from the Mai whÄnau.
