Alia Bhatt On Her ADHD Diagnosis
In a recent interaction with author Jay Shetty, Alia Bhatt opened up about her diagnosis. While she informed that she is not on medication currently, she also went on sharing how her sister’s journey has inspired and given her the courage to speak about her mental health in a voice – loud and clear. Alia further describing her experience with ADHD, shared that her body reacts unusually in social situations. She said hearing the stories of others facing similar challenges gave her the courage to speak about her own struggles.
The Gangubai Kathiawadi actress states, “I was struggling, which is why I sought help. In social gatherings, my body would physically react. I’d start heating up. I also found it hard to focus; my attention kept drifting in and out.” She added that she used to give herself credit for being an amazing multitasker, but then gradually she noted that while she can multitask, it had an implication on her. She tended to forget even the randomest of things, despite scheduling it herself. As she took a note of these habits, she decided to go for a test. “So, I took a professional test over three days, and I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. Strangely, I felt happy because my ADHD diagnosis gave me information. Lack of information is what throws me off the most, and I’m always seeking clarity and comfort. I’m very averse to change. But once I became aware of these things, dealing with them became much simpler“, she remarked.
Alia praised her sister for giving her the motivation to talk about it openly, on the larger front. She added that she is rather managing to get well with it, instead of choosing medications.
