Lili Reinhart on Body Dysmorphia, Anxiety, and Depression as an Actress

- Is the mirror your worst enemy? When you see your reflection, do you focus in on your flaws? Maybe you obsess over the extra weight around your midsection, the acne that can’t be hidden with concealer, or the shape of your nose. Most of us have had negative thoughts about our bodies at some point in our lives, but for people with body dysmorphic disorder, the obsession with physical imperfections-real or perceived-is all-consuming and interferes with daily life.
That’s how 26-year-old Riverdale actress Lili Reinhart explains it in an episode of Scan My Brain with Dr. Daniel Amen. Her struggle with body dysmorphia began in 8th grade. “I was 12 or 13 and my skin was really bad,” she says. “I started to deal with it, not about my body, but very much focused on my skin. I was doing my makeup in the dark. I didn’t want to wake up and turn on the fluorescent lights in my bathroom and stare at my acne. So, I would do it in very dim lighting.”

The fact that she’s preaching body positivity and still learning it herself makes it more legit to me. OK so we’ll learn together.
I feel bad for her.
@@chriswilliams1024 You mean 'him'. That's a guy.
I'm not speaking of Lili but the trans in the ad ...

Here Is Something If You Love Lili Reinhart 👇👇👇🙏

she is literally one of the best people on this planet. it’s so hard to be in the public eye and be vulnerable, and she always do that. She make us feel more connected with her and look at our struggles and see that we are not alone. lili helps me so much with my social anxiety and with my body dysmorphia. and the way she talks, we can see how truthful and honest she is being. thank you for this. I’m sobbing. lili is so precious 💖
I’ve never in my life heard someone describe my problems as accurately as Lilli. I relate to her completely. It’s saddening but comforting that she is someone I can look up to. I often thought how hard it would be to go through what i went through while on film. She is so strong.
Came here to say the first line
I know body dysmorphia doesn’t care how good looking a person actually is, but it is still somewhat shocking to find out Lili is dealing with it. When I first saw her.. my initial thoughts were along the line of "her face is essentially the epitome of beautiful".
I truly hope she’s feeling better and recovering ❤
I'm 41 years old and lilli is my role model. The vulnerability and courage it took for her to show this up close and personal side of herself is amazing. She is so beautiful inside and out.
I also want to commend the doctor on his “bedside manner” as it was compassionate, patient and supportive ❤
Omg this is me 😭 developed trichotillomania at 14 then acne at 16. I hated myself, thought I was ugly. Did my makeup in the dark. I’m now 35 and still won’t look at myself in certajn lighting. My skin is ok now and beat trich in my early 20s, but my brain is programmed this way now. I always think I look weird or ugly, I am obsessed with my skin still and feel upset/down if I get a pimple or two. I spend all day thinking about what I look like and if people think I’m ugly. I also have intrusive thoughts. I have avoided relationships and intimacy. It has ruined most of my adult life.
I feel totally the same and it’s so tiring
@4ncts and Karina, I'm sorry you are both dealing with this. I feel the same way. It's so exhausting. I recently developed alopecia (weird to say because I've always considered myself a healthy person) and I totally feel Lily on this obsessive component of having to look at yourself from different angles and just observing and imagining what it would look like different, etc. I also have a tendency of pulling my hairs out and feeling them. Finding the extra curly one that doesn't belong, etc. It's exhausting. I hope you are both doing better. How are you guys holding up? What is your lifestyle like?
I feel so lucky to be able to look up to someone like lili. I hope she knows that we love and support her regardless and I wish I could give her a big hug! I can't imagine how it must feel to be this open and vulnerable with her audience but it makes us feel like we aren't alone in our struggles. I know I struggle with body dysmorphia, anxiety, and depression and it controls my life more than I ever thought it could. I can relate so much to what lili was saying and it really does help when its talked about more. I don't feel so alone. thank you lili reinhart and thank you dr. daniel amen for this important conversation.
I just wanna give her a big hug ! I can’t imagine how it must feel to go through all of this while being in the public eye, she truly is a strong and amazing woman who I’m glad to call my role model
She need a big hug from all of us!! We all going through something.
she lit up when she talked about feeling like a child still. Beyond body changes, there may be something else that was lost but that made her happy in the experience of being a child. I'm sure that's something she could get back. I wouldn't have corrected her when she said she felt like a child. There's something precious there. I would have opened the door to explore what it means to her.
Also, not sure it helps to hear that, but she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She has a very unique beauty.
I relate to her sooo much it's almost scary, except I'm 30 already. I even have issues with body dismorphia. Now I want a brain scan, as well😅
Love how honest she is , because we all go through body transformation and I’m going through the same thing.I respect her so much for talking about this because there’s so many girls who are struggling.
We need every Doctor to interact with each and every patient just like Dr Amen is doing. The AMA should make this mandatory treatment. You can tell by the way he spoke to her she felt some type of normalcy and felt like she was going to be OK.......Powerful
I've never heard of this woman, don't watch a lot of tv, but this was a great interview & I was struck by her beauty and honesty.
its so interesting to hear her say she thinks she doesn't look good while I would give so much just to look like her! shes gorgeous!
Right, look how pretty she looks. Im kinda ugly and don’t even feel as bad as she does. LoL
I want to hug Lili so much right now, she is so so so incredible and it hurts me that she can't see it, she deserves the whole world, I love you my Lili❤️
She's precious
I am so so proud of her and I wish she would knew that she's the best role model ever. she helped me so much and she's the most beautiful person ever. It breaks my heart every time when she's struggling so hard
Will always love her transparency. ❤️
she is one of the most important people to me, she is helping me to accept myself and helping me move forward every day, knowing that materially I can not do anything to help her is frustrating because she is always there when I needed help so I just want tell you Lili that you are strong, you will get out and know that you have a big family that helps you and loves you.
Crying with her, so amazing to see all of this
Great video by the way! Not very much fun growing up and having Body Dysmorphia/anxiety/depression. I am 52, and growing up I did not know what was going on, and why. So nice to have others that are relatable regarding these issues. The difficult part of dealing with this is not letting the illness run our lives and miss out. Do yourselves a favor and please fight to get out and live. Missing out on so many things past present literally make my cry. Listen to this young lady and do not miss out. Easier said then done (I know this).
I have had this my whole life, I thought it was normal and that everyone had it, must be amaizing feeling comfortable with how you look .
I know right!
This is so interesting. When I heard Lili describe her symptoms related to body image, I felt like she was describing me. What's even more interesting is that I had a similar concussion at 9 years old, though my symptoms were more obvious and I was in fact diagnosed with a concussion.
I feel you Lili anxiety is the worst I hope you get better I feel anxiety at time it has gotten better but I still feel it inside me it’s awful
Just wanna hug lili, i love her so much 🖤🖤🖤
i know this doesn't help and she'd never see this comment anyway but- for what it's worth- i watched riverdale during that time and never noticed she gained weight. i thought she always looked stunning! she's beautiful- at any weight!
I absolutely love all the Riverdale girls! I have quite bad body dysmorphia and they are all good role models for me. They look like women I would see in real life every day instead of just on a screen or runway.
@@mckenziejeanne4508 interesting perspective. Personally I’ve always felt the girls on that show are exceptionally thin. Lili is the only one who looks like a healthy person
i love her SO much!
I’m not sure if Lili will see this but hey! You’re so talented and inspirational. Thank you so so much for your transparency. You are human and relatable. Keep going hun ❤️
She’s my favorite!!!
Her vulnerability, especially being such a public figure, is astonishing
She is & was Incredibly Beautiful & a Massive Inspiration.
I adore Lili so much & wish I could be her friend! I absolutely loved this & loved her special with Duncan Trussel as well. She’s so introspective and open about her experiences and it is so validating to hear & relate to it all. Lots of love for her 🖤
Same I love her
I have never seen such a soulful Personality, a star in Hollywood like Lili 💞. I hugged her virtually 🫂, I am with you. We are together🤝🏻
Wow, thank you Lilli for sharing your journey with us, you are such an inspiration...you are such a beautiful soul
I love Lili so much! 💕
i love her so much I relate to her so much
I really relate to and greatly respect her courage to tell her story.
Thanks for chearing this video, its so important❤️
thank you for doing this, Lili!
This touched me
we love u Lili and thank u for sharing...
❤❤ glad I’m not the only one with those thoughts
Love the comments in here. So much love for Lili!
This is so amazing❤
I love you Lili
Thank you Lili ❤for sharing. Praying for you
she’s gorgeous
She is truly an authentic person with a lot of Midwestern charm in the sense that she is genuine to others in her energy.
Not me finishing an episode of riverdale & then this popping up on my feed awee I love her
Our family is presently battling this right now with our 12 year old daughter. Over the last couple of years it went from a tactile thing where she would be picky about how her clothes felt against her skin and or fit. Then that seemed to fade and now it has drastically changed to body Dysmorphia. Daily it will be a different body part that is bothering her. Whether it's her hair, Eye color, skin color, Her forehead being too big. It hen started to escalate from sadness and depression to anger and resentment against other girls. Still trying to understand this illness, I found it strange that a few months back our daughter woke one morning with a wart the size of a pencil eraser where her cheek and nose meet. Her mother and I was waiting for the outburst when that was observed and strangely she barely reacted to it. A few weeks back she escalated to getting extremely angry and on the verge of physical violence so she was hospitalized for the last few weeks. She just returned home and has been better for the most part but we are still seeing the same issues. At the moment we are still having to keep mirrors hidden and are doing our best to limit the amount and the content online. Not sure what is next. At this point I've already lost so much work, I am on the verge of selling everything and contemplating going on the road with her to travel the country and school her while on the road. Still would like to first get to the bottom of how this came about. What was the trigger. Was it an injury, Trauma, Etc..
You are expressing in actions unconditional love ....body dysmorphia it's very painful mentally she may not be able to realized how much y love her ....deep inside she does
@@milagroscuadros9559 She is surely surrounded by those who love her dearly and would do anything for her. I have a lot of sympathy for any teenager having to try and fit in and find a sense of self these days with so much distraction and non stop influence. It's not surprising that depression and Dysmorphia is an epidemic and the present with teenage girls. We are working hard to encourage her to embrace and enjoy the natural world and get back into the outdoors and being active. She's an incredible artists and animator and am so happy that she has a passion for art. We just need to keep reminding her that too much social media is not mentally healthy for anyone.
Cool. Thanks for the video.
😢 I so relate I'm moved by this beautiful woman I need to start looking at myself in the mirror never realize how much i feel detached from myself
I love you so much Lili
thank you. Makes me think about a friend of mine ..
Ok, I cried
I wanna hug her like Fr
I knew of her before she was famous; she’s always been very open about her mental health issues, even when literally no one cared. I don’t think she’s being insincere but it’s definitely a part of her persona and is a little off-putting in an over sharing/TMI sort of way.
It’s really hard to be not liking your body and being in my serious relationship. I talk to my partner but everyone says it’s unattractive to talk about feeling ugly or fat or old. I’m working on it and he is so supportive but I am afraid it will turn me uglier for real to him since I say it.
Edit: hearing her finish speaking. I’m not alone. And I wish she didn’t have to feel this way. ❤
I don't know why i don't look in the mirror for along time maybe it's trauma I don't know maybe its cause I'm 33 but maturity of a 15 year old i don't know what it is but I felt so touched by what she said I so relate made me cry
The doctor is making some enormous claims about these very rough brain images. Just because you find a difference or pattern between rough brain images is not sufficient evidence to EXPLAIN a person's behavior and mental state in any detail. If you listen and watch closely, he uses a subtle version of the "fortune teller" technique of looking for responses in the patient as he suggests possibilities, a kind of feedback loop that is quite distant from true medical diagnostic approaches. You can Google all of this.
I agree however I would also note that the appointment would have been much longer than just 17 minutes, and they likely cut out a good chunk of the more intimate details. Might be worth checking out the clinic reviews
Exactly. The American Psychological Association is not a fan of him for making enormous claims. However Lili is a sweetheart and I love her. ❤ I love how she speaks about mental health but I do think she was taken advantage of by this man as she is likely not super medically literate. I admire her honesty and openness but I do wish she had partnered with another doctor or organization for this type of coverage.
I couldn't love her any more than i do, dream woman :)
I think people like Lili are misunderstood when it comes to body dysmorphia. Especially when so many viewers are bigger than her and see her as this thin girl, it can almost come across to people as "feel bad for me, I have a body that is SO difficult to live with, but if somebody who has it as bad as me can do it, anyone can." I say this because I used to be overweight, although I'm skinny now it definitely gets under your skin in that position to hear people whose bodies you'd kill to have act like they're such a role model for accepting them. In reality, I think Lili is trying to say that she even wants people who struggle with obesity and being overweight to not feel it defines themself so much. In the same way, I think many people don't understand why she gets so offended by them voicing their opinions on it, or "invalidating" her because they've felt invalidated by their family and those around them their whole life.
I wish we knew any follow up/progress on their case? Maybe there is some and I just haven't seen.
miss Lili reinhart we are living the same life
I had acne. Still have breakouts now, on top of that I have acne scars and thin sparse hair. I do not think I am ugly. I think I am horrific.
If someone as beautiful as her can struggle with body image, I know I'm right about me. I'm horrific
8:48 is way to relatable
She's so lovely, I wonder how she is doing now. Hope things are working out for her.
What about the chronic fatigue?
Question, are the supplements available to buy online?
I did that
Gorgeous
Anyone tried these supplements? I was thinking of trying them
@AmenClinic interesting 🧐
My baby's crying 😭😭😭
😢❤
i have found that only Pepsi Cola makes me have huge horrible acne lumps appear. no Pepsi, no major acne. My niece said it’s because they put formaldehyde in Pepsi. I’m just throwing it out there because if you don’t know you don’t know but if you drink Pepsi and you have those type of outbreaks stop the Pepsi and it should help.
Mental health is brain health. Trough past traumas the brain changes.
Lili 😭
Its not fair that shes so nice and beautiful but has to go through things like this
🥺🥺🥺🥺
9:48 .... #mybodytoo
Is chronic fatigue syndrome a brain health problem ?
Yes but nobody knows how or why
Hello , pretty Lili ,most celebrities suffer from stress ,pressure ,depression ,because you are an actress ,like singers ,artistes ,famous people.
to heal change a job ,look for a quiet job ,and quiet life away from agressive journalists , stop facing cameras a lots .
let's pray for rain to fall with no demage please.
It'd be interesting to see what my brain would look like😅😬
How is this not front page news? I guess it’s naive to expect the news to actually cover real news. This is why it’s so critical influencers are stepping up to change a world that desperately needs it. Lets get Ronaldo, the Kardashians, the Jenners, the Rock, Kamala Harris on next.
Good job to Kendal Jenner and Khloe Kardashian for going public with their brain scans. They saved lives by doing this. Hope it inspires Ronaldo, Joe Rogan and the Rock to go public with their scans. I want Kamala Harris to say a few words about our crisis with brain health.
This feels so wrong watching this. i mean it's her personal life that's been uploaded on internet.
Uhm...The whole thing is her idea. She’s trying to educate herself & others w/Body Dysmorphia & whoever is interested in learning more about it. She’s putting her personal life out there on purpose-a very altruistic one.
She obviously agreed to it
Dude her face is a 10. Even pretty people have this. Wow
My scary moments with BDD happen when I realize an old belief I had about my body was blatantly false.
Is he a reliable source or does he really just wanna sell his stuff? I don’t trust him just because he’s a doctor..
Iam be DIE
LAXATIVES AND ENEMAS AND DIARETICS SCREWED ME UP
No shit
uhm 1. ADD is no longer a diagnosis its ADHD and 2. you either have an ADHD brain or you dont. i love Lili and i really look up to her and i find this video very interesting just sad to see the misinformation about ADHD here coming from him.
Diagnostic categories are just made up by a committee, they chamge for no real reason
However Dr amen has zero credibility in neuroscience or psychiatry, his claims are baseless amd very misleading.
weight gain?
Why is it always the attractive people who have BDD?
😭😭 Because we can't see it
Google it. I might to kinda interested now
it isnt,it doesnt discriminate because it has nothing to do with what you look like to other people.Neither do I believe she has BDD, she is describing dysmorphic symptoms which many people may intermitently have, not clinical BDD in which case she would not be able to be an actress.
Yikes wait till 66.
probably the absolute worst person she could partner with if she wants to be an advocate for mental health.The only good thing about this video is the empathy he displays,factually everything is entirely incorrect,this is a sales pitch ,not evidence based medicine.Theres a reason we dont use brain scans very often in psychology/psychiatry,they tell us nothing about the causation except in cases of brain injury,tumour etc.
She’s sad because she’s not a mom. A woman’s purpose is to nurture.
she is 25 yrs old,she has a good 15 yrs to still be a mother and it certainly is not a womans purpose.
Wow what an act lIli. You want sympathy because you struggle with your beauty? Um, really girl?
