Catelynn Lowell: Roots of PTSD Finally Revealed?
In the past two years, Catelynn Lowell has checked into rehab three times.
While her journey toward greater emotional stability and mental health certainly hasn’t been an easy one, it’s yielded trendous results, making Lowell both a more fulfilled person and a spokesperson for those battling mental illness.
Earlier this week, Lowell revealed that she’s been diagnosed with PTSD.
“It’s panic disorder, PTSD – I like to call myself a trauma survivor – and it’s depression, but it’s co-occurring depression or something like that,” Lowell revealed in a candid interview.
“It will go away and it will come back with the panic disorder.”
Catelynn didn’t go into detail regarding the roots of her trauma, but in the past, she’s spoken at length about her difficult childhood.
Lowell’s father, David, helped shed new light on her painful past this week in a revealing interview with Radar Online:
“I don’t do drugs or drink so mostly it was when we had to move for my job when she was 12,” David told the site about the painful period during which he and his daughter were separated by distance.
“Kids don’t realize that parents have to do whatever it takes to pay support and insurance for their children, even if it means moving to do so.”
David added that his children were always taken care of financially, but said they may not have always received the emotional support they needed:
“I was never a deadbeat dad. One thing I’ve always done is take care of my kids,” he claimed.
“That we both had a hard time dealing with. But we called frequently.”
David went on to reveal that he suspects Catelynn’s mother didn’t always provide a stable home life:
“What her mother did with the money – many different boyfriends and moving all the time – I couldn’t say
As for how Catelynn is faring following her latest rehab stint, David his daughter is in a “wonderful” state of mind.
“She’s doing her aftercare like a champ,” he tells Radar.
“I did go with her to a holistic approach therapist. I believe this is the first time she’s tried it. It involves breathing techniques, aromatics, and of course, talking.”
Closing on a hopeful night, David adds:
“I think she’s won the battle, but staying humble about it. It’s a lifelong affliction.”

Danica Dillon: Josh Duggar Gave Me PTSD!
As we reported yesterday, Danica Dillon is suing Josh Duggar for assault, claiming that she suffered physical and emotional injuries during her two sexual encounters with the disgraced reality star.
Now, new details about the case are emerging, and it sounds as though her interactions with Josh consisted of far more than the “rough sex” Danica initially described.
In court papers obtained by Radar Online, Dillon’s lawyers describe a harrowing scene in which the former adult film star and exotic dancer actually feared for her life.
“Plaintiff felt as if she were being raped by the Defendant,” the documents read. “Plaintiff is currently being treated for severe anxiety similar to PTSD by a psychiatrist due to Defendant’s violent and outrageous conduct.
“Further, Plaintiff has been unable to work in her chosen field as a direct consequence of Defendant’s actions.”
Dillon – a married mother of two – is seeking damages “in excess of $ 500,000.”
Though she waited more than a year to file her suit, Dillon will likely get exactly what she wants.
In a statement issued yesterday, Dillon’s lawyer stated, “The defendant may be subject to [having to talk about] his prior bad [or] sexually abusive acts at trial.”
It was a clear message to the Duggar family that if the case winds up in court, Josh will be forced to answer questions about his past sexual indiscretions, such as molesting five young girls when he was still in his teens.
The Duggars have yet to speak out on the suit filed against Josh.
Currently, Josh is in rehab being treated for addictions to sex and pornography.
