Fahad Fasil has ADHD ?

Navigating the ADHD Diagnosis: Fahad Fasil's Revelation Sparks a Broader Discussion on Modern Lifestyle and Mental Health

Recently the popular Malayalam film actor Fahad Fasil has revealed that he is diagnosed with ADHD. Since then the social media is flooded with discussions and debates on ADHD.Moreover, people have started to self-diagnose by analysing the resemblance of their habits and behavioral patterns with ADHD symptoms. ADHD ( Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ) is commonly seen in children . But the adult version of this disorder is also quite possible. According to ICD - 10 ( international classification of diseases) ADHD has three main symptoms - Inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

But merely due to our modern lifestyle we may develop similar kind of symptoms. For example if you are a social media addict, you may suffer with Inattention because we are constantly watching 30 seconds and one minute reels and it is becoming the new normality of our attention span. lot of people around us are unable to keep their attention more than a limited time and can't focus whatever they need to. Sustained attention is on the edge of it's extinction. Likewise the busy mechanic modern life style has made us hyperactive - we often forget to relax and stay calm.

Another modern issue I have to mention is porn addiction , people with porn addiction tend to be more impulsive and their dopamine system is more likely to be disrupted. So these symptoms share a resmublance with symptoms of ADHD - therefore do not self diagnos that you have ADHD and don't misinterpret these lifestyle symptoms with the symptoms of ADHD . instead you have to change your lifestyle in a healthy positive way by cultivating good habits like exercise, meditation , etc and eradicating bad habits like social media addiction, porn addiction, etc. But if you are deeply suffering with these symptoms , consult a psychologist. ADHD can only be clinically diagnosed and it should be clinically diagnosed.
