Discussion
Identification of Stressors
	Drew Barrymore has faced a number of stressors throughout her life, both personally and professionally (Desmond, 2021). One of the most significant stressors she has faced is substance abuse. Barrymore started using drugs and alcohol at a very young age, and by the time she was a teenager, she was already struggling with addiction. She has spoken publicly about how her substance abuse affected her mental health and relationships with family and friends. Another stressor that Barrymore has faced is the intense media scrutiny that comes with being a celebrity. As a child star, she was thrust into the public eye at a young age and faced constant attention from the media. This attention and scrutiny can be overwhelming, leading to anxiety and stress. Barrymore has also had a difficult relationship with her mother, who was emotionally and physically abusive towards her. This family stressor has undoubtedly impacted her mental health and well-being throughout her life. In addition to these personal stressors, Barrymore has also faced professional stressors. As an actress, she has had to deal with the pressure of performing and maintaining her public image. She has also faced financial stressors, particularly early in her career when she had to support herself financially.
