Struggling: Lisa Rinna’s daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin has been battling mental health issues as she revealed over the weekend she has been to rehab twice in the past year
Mama bear: And on Monday her mother Lisa Rinna, seen here in 2018 with Delilah and Harry Hamlin, explained what her daughter has been suffering from
The star, who is married to Harry Hamlin, added, ‘Roughly 10 percent of the pediatric population will develop PANDAS to some degree.’
PANDAS occurs when strep triggers a ‘misdirected immune response and results in inflammation on a child’s brain.’
It causes moody swings, OCD, anxiety, aggressiveness, joint pain, and strange body movements.
Rinna said ‘the condition was extreme’ when it came to Delilah who experienced ‘serious anxiety and multiple phobias.’

The truth: The 56-year-old said on Instagram Stories, ‘In regards to Delilah’s recent post, I think it’s time to discuss the condition that started it all — PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections)’
She added, ‘Thankfully, we found the appropriate therapies. She is doing much much better.’
Earlier Delilah, who is romantically linked to Eyal Booker, said rehab was ‘the best thing that has ever happened to me.’
And she wanted to help others.
‘I’ve been hesitant to share this information with you guys because there are a lot of you now and sometimes that scares me,’ she explained. ‘I strive to try my hardest to be a positive influence on my younger followers. I wanted to share this with you guys today because it could help at least one person struggling with anxiety and or depression.
‘This time last year I was in rehabilitation. I moved to New York to start my journey as a student at NYU. Not long after I moved to New York I began having terrible depression,’ Delilah continued. ‘I started attracting negative people into my life because my thoughts were so negative.
‘I got trapped in a severely unhealthy relationship that pushed me over the edge,’ she added. ‘I couldn’t get out of the relationship because I thought I was deserving of it.’
When she ‘couldn’t take the pain anymore’ she moved back to Los Angeles.
A healthier life: She seems to be thriving with beau Eyal Booker after having toxic relationships in NYC
‘In February I called my mom, packed some bags, and took the soonest flight back to LA. Two weeks later I was admitted into a rehab facility,’ the star shared. ‘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.’
And rehab was very helpful.
‘I learned so much about being independent, feeling less shameful and guilty, I learned about self-love instead of self-deprivation and so much more,’ she said.
She went back again in June.
Her note: Delilah said that she needed a time out while in New York for college
‘This time I stayed for 60 days (two months),’ Delilah told her followers. ‘I worked through traumas and self-love. But most importantly I learned what self-respect meant.’
‘Saying no is OKAY! Do only things that make you happy and make you feel good about yourself. Don’t let another individual take over your life and tell you who you are or how to be,’ she advised. ‘Take control of your own life and get rid of all negative people and energy that may surround you. And I guarantee this will lead to a happier life even if it’s hard in the moment.’
Lisa’s other daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin has bravely spoken out about her battle with an eating disorder.
