"Glenn Close is doing her part to help end the stigma around mental illness.

To help further initiate conversation and educate people about mental health, Close, 68, has joined Mashable's #MindfulAllies campaign, which tells real stories about real people dealing with mental illness.

As part of the campaign, Close, a longtime advocate for ending the negative stigma attached to mental illness, penned an emotional letter in which she opened up about her family's battle with mental illness.

"Over multiple generations, various members of my family and extended family have been impacted by: serious depression, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder," she revealed. "I have learned that I have been living with mild depression for probably most of my life."
