Lindsay Lohan has candidly shared the emotional challenges she faced as a child star, revealing that her iconic roles in 'Freaky Friday' and 'The Parent Trap' left her with lasting psychological scars.
In a recent interview, the actress opened up about experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the intense scrutiny and pressure of early fame. "It wasn't easy growing up in the spotlight," Lohan admitted. "The expectations were overwhelming, and it took me years to process everything."
The Dark Side of Child Stardom
Lohan's breakthrough performances as a young actress made her a household name, but the sudden fame came at a cost. She described feeling "trapped" by her public persona and struggling to navigate adulthood under constant media attention.
"When you're that young, you don't fully understand what's happening," she explained. "You're just trying to do your job, but suddenly everyone has an opinion about your life."
Finding Healing and Moving Forward
Now 37, Lohan has been focusing on her mental health and personal growth. She credits therapy and time away from Hollywood with helping her regain balance.
"I've learned to set boundaries and prioritise my wellbeing," she said. "It's an ongoing journey, but I'm in a much better place now."
The actress has recently returned to acting, starring in Netflix's 'Falling for Christmas' and preparing for an upcoming sequel to 'Freaky Friday'. Fans hope this marks a new chapter in her career - one where she can enjoy success on her own terms.
