Another celebrity has come forward to share about his ADHD. Adam Levine – the singer from Maroon 5, and mentor on the TV show “The Voice” is helping to raise awareness about young adult and adult ADHD. He’s participating in a national education campaign called: Own It.
You can read more about the campaign here.
One of the biggest concerns that people have around ADD and ADHD is stigma. And stigma interferes with people getting the right diagnosis, and the right treatment. When someone like Adam is willing to come forward and share his story, this paves the way to increase awareness, and it can make a difference for thousands of people’s lives.
Adam – I’m impressed! Keep up the great work to support people with ADHD.
Best,
Dr. Kenny

Agree highly w/Dr. Kenny comments. ADD/ADHD does have strong stigma attached to it, besides some way off myths about it, which Can affect one dealing with this mental and chemical disorder. Let alone, the millions believing ADD/ADHD is just a childhood disorder(s), when it can affect both children & adults; plus can be more frustrating to devastating in Adult vs Children victims & their families. Children can cope more readily than adults, as they have fewer demands on them. Yet for adults, "the greater the demand on your abilities to organize, focus, and remain calm. This can be challenging for anyone, but if you have ADD/ADHD, it can feel downright impossible"!!
It always helps the many others, esp. Adults, who are dealing/suffering from ADD/ADHD, to hear of a celebrity adult, such as Adam Levine, to come out and admit they have ADD/ADHD (or any other type of disorder or disease). As it brings out more awareness!! Like to the millions unaware, that ADD/ADHD isn't just a childhood disorder, let alone one doesn't have to have had the disorder as a child, to develop it in one's adult years. Thus Adam speaking out, can bring out more awareness about 'Adult' ADD/ADHD.
AND with awareness comes education , which is key in helping Adults manage their symptoms of the disorder, besides needing support and a little creativity.
It’s never too late to turn the difficulties of adult ADD/ADHD around and start succeeding on your own terms!!
