Ellen DeGeneres has opened up about her physical and mental health challenges in her latest Netflix comedy special, For Your Approval. During the show, the former talk show host revealed that she has been diagnosed with several conditions, including severe osteoporosis, arthritis, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

DeGeneres explained that she discovered she had osteoporosis after undergoing a bone density scan, which revealed significant bone fragility. She also described experiencing severe joint pain before an MRI confirmed her arthritis. In addition to her physical health struggles, she revealed that she was diagnosed with OCD and ADHD during therapy sessions.

The comedian suggested that periods of intense stress and public criticism contributed to her decision to seek professional support and better understand her mental health. Using her characteristic humor, she reflected on these experiences, giving audiences a more personal and vulnerable insight into a difficult chapter of her life.

Meanwhile, DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight and relocated to the Cotswolds region of the United Kingdom. The couple have embraced a quieter lifestyle, away from the constant attention of the entertainment industry. Her revelations in For Your Approval provide a glimpse into the personal challenges behind her public image and a new chapter focused on health, privacy, and a slower pace of life.
