And depression, too.&#8221;</p><p>Brie divulged her family also grappled with mental illness, noting her maternal grandmother had schizophrenia.</p><p>&#8220;The rest of my family then dealt with the trickle-down effects of trauma,&#8221; Brie explained. &#8220;And that meant depression more than anything.&#8221;</p><figure id="attachment_5219711"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/41520-alison-brie-womens-health-1.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/41520-alison-brie-womens-health-1.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/41520-alison-brie-womens-health-1.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Alison Brie</span><span class="credit">Aingeru Zorita for Women’s Health</span></figcaption></figure><p>According to the actress, when she has been faced with &#8220;really serious depression&#8221; in the past, she&#8217;s turned to physical activity.</p><p>&#8220;I’ll drag myself to a yoga class — even if I don’t want to be around people — tears streaming down my face. But, &#8216;Get in class, get out of your head, get blood flowing.&#8217; It ends up helping eventually,&#8221; she said.</p><p>Brie said she&#8217;s also relied on husband Dave Franco, 34, as a source of support.</p><figure id="attachment_5219723"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/41520-alison-brie-dave-franco.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/41520-alison-brie-dave-franco.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/41520-alison-brie-dave-franco.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Alison Brie and Dave Franco</span><span class="credit">WireImage</span></figcaption></figure><p>&#8220;We have great lines of communication, and I can talk often about my feelings,&#8221; she explained, noting the couple of three years has had candid conversations.</p><p>&#8220;It’s been funny talking to him about it. He said, &#8216;Before I knew you, I’m not sure I believed body dysmorphia was a real thing. It’s so interesting to me what you see — and what I’m seeing when I’m looking at you — and the frank discussions we have about it,&#8217;&#8221; she said.</p><p>In 2017, Brie spoke about stripping down on-camera, telling The Edit at the time: &#8220;It was important that the show be a realistic portrayal of life in the way people live and the way they have sex.&#8221;</p><p>She added, &#8220;And also that our show be about every aspect of women’s bodies, and women not being ashamed of their bodies. We’re not being shot in a way that’s over-sexualizing us, or exploiting us. I found it very freeing and empowering, and I’m so glad that I did it.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
