Amanda Seyfriend has been a well-known actress in film and television for close to 20 years (since her debut in the famous comedy “Mean Girls”). Not long after her first big break, she disclosed publicly that she suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. That turned out to be a beneficial disclosure to her because she gained the attention and admiration of millions of others who suffer from OCD. She inspired them to talk more openly about it and her openness also helped chip away the stigma that had long been attached to it. She takes medication for her condition and that has done nothing to damage her or throw her off her upward trajectory in Hollywood. Talking openly about her struggle has been beneficial to her and to others.
