Paris Hilton, 43-year-old actress and entrepreneur shared her experience with ADHD. She revealed that she struggled with symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) since childhood long before her diagnosis.
Hilton explained that her parents concerned about her energy and constant talkativeness, sent her to a special institution for troubled teenagers.

Looking back Paris feels misunderstood and still harbors resentment about that decision.
In an interview with Teen Vogue, she said, “I spent years feeling misunderstood, punished for how my brain works. It wasn’t until much later that I realized what was really going on.”
For a long time, Hilton kept her diagnosis private, fearing public judgment. But over time, she came to embrace her ADHD, seeing it not as a problem, but as part of who she is.
