Shay Mitchell Says She Found Herself Dealing With Depression While Shooting 'Possession of Hannah Grace'

Shay Mitchell got really into her new role as Megan in The Possession of Hannah Grace – so much in fact that she found she was personally depressed like her character.

“This character was definitely hard to shake,” the actress revealed to Standard Online in a recent interview about the flick.

Shay shared that “not only did she [Megan] deal with anxiety and depression but I found myself feeling the same while shooting this movie because I was stressed out.”

“I started to become similar to Megan in the same way she was going down a dark hole,” she added. “I found myself doing something similar and, at the end, I couldn’t really tell if Megan was turning into me or I was turning into Megan.”

The Possession of Hannah Grace is in select theaters now.
