Tallulah Willis has sought treatment to help with her mental health a few times over the years. In an interview with Vogue, she revealed that, at 25, she was admitted to a treatment facility in Malibu, California. There, she was diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. According to the CDC, ADHD is prevalent in both children and adults, with symptoms including restlessness, forgetting things, and fidgeting. Those symptoms can get worse with age in response to the responsibilities and stress that come with adulting.

Doctors put the designer on a stimulant medication, which she says was “transformative” at the time. However, for Tallulah, her ADHD medication also brought on its own set of challenges. As someone who also suffers from body dysmorphia, Tallulah was in tune with the medication’s “appetite-suppressant side effect.” At first, Tallulah enjoyed the weight loss, but it quickly went too far. She revealed that in spring 2022, she weighed a mere 84 pounds. “There’s an unhealthy deliciousness at the beginning of losing weight rapidly. People are like, ‘Oh wow!'” she admitted. “And then quickly it turns to, Are you okay? My friends and family were terrified.”
