Ahead of her book release, on Monday, Jan. 30, Jinger sat down with GMA to promote it and share more of her story. Afterward, GMA reported that in the full-length interview, Jinger claimed her upbringing caused her to suffer through many different issues when she was growing up.

In GMA‘s article about her interview, the network noted that the Duggar daughter struggled with “perfectionism, eating disorders, and panic attacks.”

Duggar fans know that Jinger was raised in a very strict, conservative household and her family followed the rules of the IBLP (Institute of Basic Life Principles). It turns out that some of these beliefs had a lasting and damaging effect on Jinger. So far, she’s the first of her siblings to publicly blame her upbringing on these issues. So, it’s unclear if and how her 18 brothers and sisters might have been affected too.
