Emma Kenney, who plays teenage daughter Harris on "Roseanne," is seeking treatment for her personal “battles,” according to reports by In Touch and E! News. In a statement, Kenney did not specify what she would be receiving treatment for, but said in a statement she wants to “make better choices.”
“I was running with a really fast crowd. I was being naive and very immature, and I was doing things I should not be doing because it was illegal and I’m not 21," she told In Touch.
“It wasn’t healthy, and it was making me feel even worse — anxious and depressed. It was just a slippery slope that I did not want to go down. And I knew that I needed to stop it."
She said she’s hoping to learn how to deal with stress and boredom better while she’s in treatment.
Kenney tweeted Monday that she was taking some time off from social media and leaving Los Angeles temporarily. “This sounds so cliche, but this town/industry can really get to you,” she wrote. “Going to re-find my peace [and] happiness.”
The actress, who also stars in "Shameless," said her issues have affected her personal life, but not her professional life. She wanted to speak out to help others with issues like hers.
"I just want to send a message to my fans saying that it’s OK to admit that you need help, and it doesn’t make you weak,” she told In Touch. “I know I’m making the right choice by going to treatment, and I’m going to come out the other side the right Emma, the true Emma that I’ve always been."
