After her rehab experience, Willis wrote a personal essay forVoguethat was published in May.
In the essay, Willis shared her struggles with body dysmorphia, which then led to her developinganorexia. She also shared details ofher ADHD and borderline personality diagnoses.
“For the last four years, I have suffered from anorexia nervosa, which I’ve been reluctant to talk about because, after getting sober at age 20, restricting food has felt like the last vice that I got to hold on to,” she wrote. “It was a largely therapeutic experience; for the first time, I grieved the 15-year-old misfit me, the ugly duckling.”
Willis also revealed that she was admitted to a residential treatment facility in 2019 when she was 25. During her inpatient experience, the actress was able to address both hereating disorder, as well as her depression.
During her earlier inpatient experience, the actress was diagnosed with ADHD, and explained she began a stimulant medication, “which was transformative.”
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders and can result in difficulty paying attention and controlling impulsive behaviors, or being overly active, according to theCDC.
“I felt smart for the first time,” Willis recalled of the experience of first taking her medication. “But I also started to enjoy the appetite-suppressant side effect of the meds.”
While Willis was able to “build a life outside of how [she] looked,” those around her were growing concerned and began to question the impact the ADHD medication could have on her physical health.
