Emma Stone has recently revealed that Emma Stone suffered from "crippling" panic attacks as a kid.

The 26-year-old told the Wall Street Journal that she struggled with anxiety as a child which led her to believe bad things were happening, Contactmusic has reported.

The 'Birdman' actress mentioned that the first time she suffered the attack, she was in her friend's house and thought the house was burning down, so she called her mom who brought her home, but for the next three years it just did not stop.

She would ask her mom to tell her exactly how the day was going to be, then ask it again after 30 seconds, just to be sure that no one was going to die and nothing was going to change, Stone further added.

The American actress has previously stated that acting helped reduce her anxiety.
