Reinhart chose to use her fame to help improve the lives of people affected by mental illnesses. "When I first had to think about what I wanted to represent as a person in the spotlight, I said I want to be a mental health advocate because it's something that I've dealt with my whole life," she told SELF. "To me, it was kind of a no-brainer — why would I not talk about it?"
Moreover, she has opened up about her own struggles with depression time after time on social media. "It came to a point where I told my parents I wanted to see a therapist and a psychiatrist and see if there was medication I could [go on]," Reinhart told Glamour. "I was very proactive. It makes me feel stronger to be able to say that I was able to seek help when I knew that I needed it and not just suffer in silence."
