Amanda Seyfried opens up about what saved her from Hollywood’s dangerous party scene
Fox News
Amanda Seyfried reveals she was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder at 19 and credits her OCD with helping her avoid Hollywood's party scene and nightclub culture.
Lori Bashian is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
As opposed to other young stars who were coming up at the time, Seyfried didn't lead a very public life, and was dealing with "really extreme" obsessive-compulsive disorder, which she said she was diagnosed with at 19.
"I was living in Marina del Rey at the time, shooting 'Big Love' and my mom had to take a sabbatical from work in Pennsylvania to live with me for a month. I got my brain scans, and that’s when I got on medication—which to this day, I’m on every night."
