She has been on a drug named Lexapro, which is used to manage anxiety and depression, since she was 19.
Speaking to ELLE magazine, she said: "I'm not on a very high dose. There's definitely a wrong and a right drug for each person. It's all about your chemistry.
"Medication is very helpful for OCD. They say it's 30 per cent helpful and the other 70 per cent is your own work. Pharma companies are the devil in a lot of ways, but we need those drugs. It's just how they're being managed [that worries me]."
Speaking about her pregnancy, she said: "I prepared myself before I had her by going back to CBT [Cognitive Behavioural Therapy], just to get myself in that frame of mind to notice when my OCD might be getting worse. But it turns out you're way too busy with other things anyway.
"It definitely didn't void it, but it's absolutely gotten quieter.
"You have less time to worry, or to focus or obsess about things you maybe used to, and it's so grounding. It's real. They depend on you completely now."
