Kendra Wilkinson Breaks Silence on Her Crippling Mental Health Battle: 'I Was Dying of Depression'

Reality star Kendra Wilkinson opens up to PEOPLE in an emotional interview about how she's healing from unresolved trauma four months after being hospitalized.

I’ve had to face my demons,” says Wilkinson, 38, who returned to the hospital a week after her Sept. 6 trip to the emergency room (her ex-husband, former NFL player Hank Baskett, was by her side). For weeks leading up to her hospitalization, Wilkinson — who has spoken in the past about being placed in a psychiatric facility as a teen after swallowing half a dozen pills— hadn’t been eating or sleeping, and her head was spinning. Trying to reboot her image and build a successful full-time career in real estate at Douglas Elliman, Wilkinson was dealt another blow last year when her show, Kendra Sells Hollywood, wasn’t renewed after two seasons.
