**Mumbai, India:** Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has revealed her recent diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), shedding light on the neurodevelopmental disorder and the importance of understanding and managing its symptoms.
In a recent interview, Bhatt spoke candidly about experiencing “zoning out” from a young age, both in school and during conversations. This prompted her to take a psychological test, which confirmed her suspicions. “I have ADHD – Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder,” she shared.
The actress also discussed finding peace in the presence of her daughter, Raha, and while acting. “I am most present in front of the camera,” she said, “When I’m playing a character, I am completely immersed in that moment.”
ADHD is characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can significantly impact daily life. While Bhatt’s diagnosis may be surprising to some, she emphasized that many of her friends have long suspected she had the condition.
Experts advise that effective management of ADHD often involves a combination of strategies, including building a strong support network and seeking professional help. With proper management, individuals with ADHD can lead fulfilling lives.
Bhatt’s openness about her diagnosis is likely to raise awareness and encourage further discussion about the condition.
