“To those who might feel it is inappropriate that my daughter got her nose professionally done, legally done, I’m all about being legal,” Farrah told TMZ. “We abided by the law. I am doing my best as a parent to make sure that she is healthy and happy, and I covered those bases. So, congratulations to Sophia. I’m wishing her the best in her teen years, and if she wants to get more piercings, more power to her.”
Sophia Abraham talked about her depression and anxiety symptoms
Teen Mom fans remain divided on Farrah Abraham’s decision to allow Sophia Abraham to get pierced. Many fans expressed in the past that they worried about Sophia’s mental health. Sophia discussed her symptoms of depression and anxiety with Amen Clinics in 2023.
During the interview, Sophia said she started feeling depressed at 8 years old. She told Dr. Vernon Johnson from the clinic that she found herself “zoning out a lot” and “kind of avoiding school” by “not really staying on schedule.”
“Recently, I did have a panic attack kind of thing,” she added while talking about her anxiety. “It’s really random. For example, I was at this concert, and all of a sudden, I just started panicking and was feeling like I couldn’t breathe. … It’s just things like that. I overthink. My thoughts go crazy.”
