Concerns for Tallulah Willis’s Mental Health Amid Bruce Willis’s Battle with Dementia
A Challenging Time for Bruce Willis and His Family
Bruce Willis, the beloved actor, has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative brain condition, leading him to step away from his career indefinitely. This difficult period has brought the Willis family closer, but it has also raised serious concerns about the mental health of Bruce’s daughter, Tallulah.
Heightened Concerns for Tallulah’s Mental Health
Reports from Radar Online indicate growing worry within the Willis family regarding Tallulah Willis’s mental health. Earlier this year, the family confirmed Bruce’s diagnosis, and his daughter Scout shared her overwhelmed feelings following the news.
In March, Bruce announced his retirement from acting due to aphasia, which impaired his communication abilities. By February 2023, the diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia was made public, marking a challenging period for the Willis family.
Tallulah, Bruce’s daughter with Demi Moore, revealed she battled anorexia after her fiancé Dillon Buss ended their relationship shortly after Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis. Since then, there have been limited updates on her condition, but Bruce was reportedly deeply affected by his daughter’s struggle.
Tallulah’s Struggles and Candid Revelations
Tallulah sought treatment at an in-patient facility post-breakup and was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. In a heartfelt essay for Vogue, she shared her battle with body dysmorphia, which began when she started taking medication for ADHD. The medication, while making her feel intellectually capable, also suppressed her appetite.
“There’s an unhealthy deliciousness at the beginning of losing weight rapidly. People are like, ‘Oh wow!’ And then quickly it turns to, ‘Are you okay?’ My friends and family were terrified, and I dismissed it,” Tallulah recounted.
By spring 2022, Tallulah’s weight had dropped to around 84 pounds. She constantly felt cold, relied on mobile IV teams, and avoided walking in her neighborhood out of fear of not finding a place to rest.
A Hope for Recovery
The Willis family hopes that Tallulah receives the necessary support for a complete recovery. Navigating her own struggles while dealing with her father’s health issues has been incredibly challenging.
