“Save By The Bell” Star Lark Voorhies Opens Up About Mental Health Diagnosis
After years of questions about strange behavior from “Saved by the Bell” star Lark Voorhies, the former actress has finally decided to open up about what’s been really going on in her life.
Now, as some people may recall, Lark did an interview back in 2012 with Entertainment Tonight which concerned a lot of folks due to her “strange behavior.“ Some assumed that she was taking drugs or dealing with some kind of unknown issue, and at the time, her mother came out and said Lark was bipolar. However, the star denied the diagnosis. While appearing on the Dr. Oz show, she did admit that she is suffering from a health problem and actually shared her official diagnosis.
“Schizoaffective thought disorder — and that was a perfect example of what it does and how it behaves and what it creates around and about it,” she said, referring to the clip from the ET interview. Lark also said despite the rumors, she has never taken drugs.
Dr. Oz told the audience that he initially wanted to have Lark on his show two years ago, but “it became evident to my team she was still not well” when they did a pre-interview with her. “The first order of business was to get Lark some off-camera support,” he said while revealing he hooked her and her mother up with psychiatrist Dr. Modi.
Aside from this, Voorhies — who played Lisa Turtle on the classic sitcom — shared how she felt empowered seeing her former costars celebrate 30 years of friendship, but wishes she was a part of the cast reunion.
