Camila Cabello’s Battle with OCD

Camila Cabello opens up about what its like living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK, Cabello shared that she struggles with OCD.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a common mental health disorder that causes a person to have obsessive thoughts and or to perform repetitive behaviors.

OCD is manageable; however, stress levels can play a significant role in triggering OCD symptoms. In Cabello’s case, she explains OCD is her way of handling stress, “everybody has different ways of handling stress. And, for me, if I get really stressed about something, I’ll start to have the same thought over and over again, and no matter how many times I get to the resolution, I feel like something bad is about to happen if I don’t keep thinking about it.”

The “Havana” singer was in the dark about this disorder, but when she took a “step back from it,” she was able to learn how to better manage it.

While OCD can interfere with all aspects of life, Cabella’s fans should not worry, as she feels “so much more in control of it now.”
