Alexa Ray Joel Speaks Out!

Considering her brush with death earlier this month, Alexa Ray Joel has thanked everyone for their love and support through this difficult time and is doing pretty well considering the circumstances.

Alexa’s hospitalization was due to an overdose of pills at a time of crippling depression and wants to help others who are suffering.

She wants to “help young girls with something I know a GREAT deal about: Heartbreak-Related Depression. Although it does not get much attention in our society, it is a very serious and painful condition that often gets swept under the carpet. I hope to bring this topic more to light.”

Alexa is even going back to school for psychology, so she’s legit!

Lots of luck!
