I don't know about you but when I so love an actor, I make it a point to watch all of his movies. If he's in the movie, then it's a must-watch for me. That's the case with me and Johnny Depp and Will Smith :) and apparently, my persistent fascination with Smith has also convinced me that having ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) isn't really a bad thing. Why? Because he has it. He admits that he had trouble paying attention when he was young. More so, he says that reading was a task a bit difficult for him.
Joining Smith is one of my favorite comedians - Jim Carrey (though Adam Sandler comes first). They say that his zany antics were caused by his ADHD.
The pop singer Justin Timberlake also admits that he has ADD mixed with OCD and even Paris Hilton (yes, that blonde, rich, sexy socialite) revealed in an interview that she is trying to manage the ADHD she was diagnosed with when she was 12. Last but not the least, the Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel has also been reported to have ADHD.
*** SNOOP ON ADHD FACTS ***
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a typical behavioral disorder which has been reported to affect about 10% of school-age kids worldwide. There are three types of ADHD conditions - the inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type, and the combined type.Basically, people with ADHD are hyperactive. They have trouble focusing and paying attention to details. Some also fidget and squirm uncontrollably and talk or walk around excessively.
Contrary to popular misconceptions, poor parenting, too much sugar, and vaccines do not cause this disorder. ADHD is actually a biological condition. Though it cannot be cured, its symptoms can be successfully managed through medication and behavioral therapy.
