Only because of the way Khloé phrases it.

It’s not just fans who are calling Khloé out either. Medical professionals are talking about it too.

“Our culture has put down the significance and importance of mental illness, and people with it need advocates who can speak up and say, illnesses are real,” Blair Simpson, Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University, said to Refinery29.

“With obsessions and compulsions, people can feel driven to perform them so much so that they’re not in charge of life anymore,” she continued. 

If you or someone you know needs help, you can speak confidentially to a trained counsellor 24 hours a day at headspace.org.au or Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800.
