Kathy Griffin has shared her gratitude for her fans’ kindness after sharing her diagnosis of complex PTSD. The comedian posted about the condition for the first time earlier this week, having never addressed it publicly before. “I think this is the place to do it because I've seen a lot of videos about it,” she said in a minute-long TikTok clip.
“I've been diagnosed with complex PTSD. They call it an extreme case. ” She added that feeding her dogs was a simple task that helped her deal with the effects of the condition.
After asking her followers to respond with their experiences of coping with depression and anxiety, Griffin, 63, added: “If any of you know my story, you'll understand that this really started for me about five-and-a-half years ago. Wink. ” It is assumed that Griffin is referring to the heavy backlash she received after posing with a bloodied mask of Donald Trump’s head for a photo shoot in 2017.
She was also diagnosed with stage one lung cancer in 2021 and had half of her left lung removed as part of the treatment – something, she adds, “didn’t help” with her complex PTSD experience. In response to this post, Griffin’s fans chimed in with methods that they have found to be useful in dealing with various mental health diagnoses, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy, spending time with friends and family, and self-care. On Saturday (15 April), Griffin shared an additional clip that thanked people for their encouraging replies.
