Jonah Hill has made no secret of his struggles with mental health. In fact, he tries to shed some light on a topic that is not often discussed openly.
Hill’s new documentary, “Stutz,” will premiere on Netflix on November 14. In the film, he not only tackles the topic of mental health but also how therapy has helped him along his journey. The film provides an inside look at the actor’s therapy sessions with therapist and longtime friend Phil Stutz.
Jonah Hill Has Opened Up About His Struggles With Anxiety
The 38-year-old actress has been open and honest about her recent struggles with anxiety and hopes the documentary can help others who suffer from anxiety. “I’m just going to admit how odd this endeavor is – a patient making a movie about his therapist. But my life has been better as a result of working with you,” Hill says in the trailer. “If it works for me, maybe it will work for people other.”
In the documentary, Hill allows her vulnerability to shine through in hopes that it will help others open up as well. “How can I make a film where I talk about vulnerable people and solve their problems and not be vulnerable myself?” Hill asked, and Stutz replied, “You can’t move forward without being exposed. Vulnerability connects you to the rest of the world. You signaled to the world I need you because I can’t do this alone.”
Hill also explained that he was a “very insecure kid.” “This work has accepted and felt that it is great to be this person. You are still in the struggle and in the struggle to be human like everyone else.” Stutz replied, “Take action no matter how scared you are. If you can teach someone that, they can change their whole life.”

Jonah Hill Announces He Won’t Be Doing Any Public Events
The “Superbad” actor deleted his Instagram account in August amid his turmoil. He also issued an open statement to Deadline about his plans to step back from media appearances and public events due to his mental health concerns and issues.
“I’ve finished directing my second film, a documentary about me and my therapist exploring mental health in general called ‘Stutz.’ The whole purpose of making this film is to give therapy and the tools I learned in therapy to a wide audience for personal use through an entertaining film,” he wrote. “Through this film’s journey of self-discovery, I have come to understand that I have spent almost 20 years suffering from anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public-facing events. If I make myself sicker by going out there and promoting it, I’m not being honest with myself or the film.”
His letter went on to explain that he was trying to normalize people talking about their mental health struggles with the film. “With this letter and with ‘Stutz,’ I hope to make it more common for people to talk and act on this. So they can take steps to feel better and so that the people in their lives can understand their issues more clearly,” he wrote. “I hope the work will speak for itself and I thank my collaborators, my business partners, and to everyone reading this for your understanding and support.”
