Amanda Seyfried
In a 2016 interview with Allure, Amanda Seyfried revealed that she is on Lexapro for OCD, and that she’ll “never get off it” since she’s been taking the anxiety medication since she was 19. “You don’t see the mental illness: It’s not a mass; it’s not a cyst. But it’s there. Why do you need to prove it? If you can treat it, you treat it,” she said.
“I had pretty bad health anxiety that came from the OCD and thought I had a tumor in my brain. I had an MRI, and the neurologist referred me to a psychiatrist. As I get older, the compulsive thoughts and fears have diminished a lot. Knowing that a lot of my fears are not reality-based really helps.”
