Paris has disclosed that her father’s constant attention from the paparazzi contributed to her developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

According to the Mayo Clinic, PTSD is a mental health condition that arises from experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.

On an episode of Red Table Talk, Paris revealed, โ€œI experience audio hallucinations, sometimes hearing camera clicks, and I deal with severe paranoia. I’ve been in therapy for various issues, and this is one of them.โ€

She also mentioned that she has been undergoing eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for her PTSD, describing it as “very effective.”

Jacksonโ€™s daughter has been candid about her coming out experience, sharing that she prefers not to label her s3xuality.

She shared, โ€œI wouldnโ€™t consider myself bis3xual because Iโ€™ve dated people beyond just men and women.โ€
