A Personal Battle with Mental Health
In 1996, Margot faced one of the most challenging periods of her life when she experienced a severe mental breakdown. During this time, she disappeared for several days, and when she was found, it was clear she was in a state of distress. Officer Rick Young of the Glendale police described her as being "in obvious mental distress." Margot later opened up about her struggles with manic depression, revealing the intense mood swings that characterized her condition. She explained, "It’s very hard to convince a manic person that there is anything wrong with them. You have no desire to sleep. You are full of ideas." Despite these challenges, Margot demonstrated incredible resilience and courage in her battle against mental illness.
