Alia Bhatt reveals she is diagnosed with ADHD

Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has revealed she is diagnosed with ADHD and also suffers from anxiety in some of her interviews for her film Jigra, which released in theatres on October 11.

In an interview with Lallantop, Alia said, "I frequently zone out in life. I used to zone out since childhood. I used to zone out in the classroom as well as in conversations. I recently got to know from a psychology test that I am quite high in the ADHD spectrum. I have been diagnosed with ADHD."

Speaking on the What Women Want podcast, the actress said, "I was doing therapy for a couple of years, but now life has been so hectic that I have not been able to do that also. I understand that 'me time' has reduced. Me, being on set is me-time. I do have anxiety. I am clinically diagnosed with anxiety. Every moment for me is my worst-case scenario."

What is ADHD?

ADHD or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is characterised by frequent symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

The disorder affects children and can continue in adulthood as well.

The person affected by ADHD finds it difficult to pay attention or continue with a task or sometimes faces challenges to control oneself.

Speaking on the disorder, Dr. Sonal Anand, a psychiatrist, said as quoted by The Indian Express, "People with this condition may experience a range of symptoms such as difficulty in paying attention or focusing on multiple things at a time, following the schedule, being organised, constantly fidgeting, shaking your legs, suddenly talking too much, impulsive behaviour, frequently interrupting others unintentionally, or having no self-control."
