Debra Messing health: What disease does Debra Messing have?

She suffers from periodic depression.

Messing claims she was diagnosed with depression and believed losing weight would make her life and the lives of those who dress her so much simpler.

She did, but it wasn’t enough for her. She now claims that it was too much for her.

“I was definitely too thin,” she said. “But, you know, I fit into everything when I went in for those fittings. And all of a sudden, I could practically fit into anything high fashion. Because I was a 2, everything appeared to open up for me all of a sudden.”

She eventually understood that staying that skinny was not beneficial for her physical or emotional health.

“I became ill,” she explained. “My body simply could not keep up. My adrenals were failing, I was fatigued, and it was evident to me that I couldn’t be healthy and a size 2 at the same time.”

 

Messing wishes she could go back in time and be kind to herself.
