Amanda Seyfried started off as Karen Smith in teen comedy Mean Girls, later starring in musicals Mamma Mia and Les Misérables. Not many people know, however, that she has been on Lexapro for OCD and anxiety since age 19. She’s explained in interviews that people need to understand mental disorders aren’t any different than physical ailments. “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.”
