"Amanda Seyfried has opened up about her struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. The Lovelace star spoke about her experience of the condition in an interview on ITV&amp;#039;s Lorraine this morning (August 20).  Seyfried explained that she has been dealing with anxiety since she was &amp;quot;very young&amp;quot;, but now feels like she has &amp;quot;worked through it&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I think I&amp;#039;m just playing a part. I&amp;#039;m 27 now, I started dealing with anxiety when I was young, very young, but I think I worked through it mostly, and I think you have to embrace the opportunities you&amp;#039;re given,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I like talking about my work, you have to be educated in what moves you, what makes you anxious, you just have to get to know yourself and I think these are like the most formative years. So I&amp;#039;ve come a long way in terms of anxiety, but I think everybody has a little bit of it.&amp;quot;   The Mamma Mia! actress - who is rumoured to be dating Justin Long - said that it is important to raise awareness to help other people who are suffering. &amp;quot;You know, I wish I knew it was possible to get through it, because at one point I didn&amp;#039;t think there was another side. I mean, you can be... it can paralyse you.  &amp;quot;Fear, unrealistic fear. But, we&amp;#039;re human, and we&amp;#039;re really strong,&amp;quot; Seyfried concluded. Seyfried&amp;#039;s new film Lovelace will open in UK cinemas on August 23, and is now playing on limited release in the US.
