Gisele Bundchen

NFL star Tom Brady's model wife, Gisele Bundchen recently spoke about her mental health and how she sought help for anxiety and panic attacks.

Bundchen, 40, has had a history of panic attacks and has been actively discussing mental wellness on social media.

"From my own experience I learned that nothing is permanent. Sometimes a gentle reminder that the bad feelings will eventually go away can work like a beacon of hope. Anxiety can feel all-consuming, and sometimes we need a supportive push to help break us out of our vicious cycle of worry," Bundchen wrote on Instagram.

"My own panic attacks were difficult for me, and I sought help. In moments like these, family, friends and specialists can help, and so can breathing and meditation tools," she added.
