Popular public figure Paris Hilton has faced her fair share of health struggles!
In a personal essay for Teen Vogue published on October 5, the Bottoms Ups actress discussed how her ADHD symptoms contributed to her being sent to a troubled teen facility.
“ADHD is the reason I’ve been able to anticipate trends, it’s given me the creativity to build an empire," the actress revealed.
She added, "It wasn’t until much later in life that I discovered what was really happening."
"Growing up, I was always told that I was too energetic, too distracted, too talkative—just too everything," the star further noted.
"My constant need for stimulation combined with troubles at school made my childhood difficult," Paris elaborated.
Lately, she addressed the stigma surrounding people living with that condition, "We need to stop labeling neurodivergent individuals as 'disordered' and start recognizing the unique gifts they bring."
"while society has traditionally taught people to live in a set way, i realized that living with ADHD and breaking free from societal norms allowed the most magical things to happen," concluded Paris Hilton.
