Amanda Seyfried has shared how her extreme OCD shaped her life and career.
The 40-year-old actress said the condition prevented her from getting into trouble as a young star and kept her away from nightclubs, drugs and excessive drinking.
The Wild girls star revealed she was diagnosed at 19 while filming HBO’s Big Love. Her mother even took time off work to stay with her while she got brain scans.
Amanda went on to say that she has taken medication every night since then, adding that her OCD helped her make careful choices and stay grounded.
Speaking of being a mother, Abandoned star said that it is not easy to balance her work and her children.
She has an eight-year-old daughter Nina and a five-year-old son with her husband Thomas Sadoski.
Amanda said that although her life is busy, she finds it worth it, admitting that working with two children and getting two films out at the same time is stressful.
Furthermore, Amanda says that she still loves acting and enjoys what she does every day.
