Lisa Rinna is opening up about her daughters’ mental health. Just days after Delilah Belle, 21, opened up about her two trips to rehab to work on her mental health issues, her mom took to Instagram to raise awareness about PANDAS, a condition Delilah developed as a child. It can trigger massive mental health issues. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star praised her daughter for speaking out.

According to PANDAS network, the disorder occurs when a child has strep, which triggers a “misdirected immune response and results in inflammation on a child’s brain.”

“In turn, the child quickly begins to exhibit life-changing symptoms such as OCD, anxiety, tics, personality changes, decline in math and handwriting abilities, sensory sensitivities, restrictive eating, and more,” the network explained.

“I knew the way I was living was unhealthy and detrimental to my mental health so I called my mom and told her I needed help,” she said. Lisa flew her out to LA and got her into treatment.

She then revealed that she returned to the facility in June. “This time I stayed for 60 days (two months),” Delilah explained. “I worked through traumas and self-love. But most importantly I learned what self-respect meant.”
