Lily Allen reveals she was diagnosed with ADHD

The ADHD is a behavioral disorder defined by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Adults with ADHD are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and substance abuse (source 1). Although the exact cause of ADHD is unclear, it is believed to involve genetic mutations that affect the function and structure of a person’s brain. Lily explained that living on the other side of the Atlantic, away from her siblings and family, means her life is “separate”, making her a bit lonely at times. Indeed, the star left the United Kingdom in 2020 to settle in New York, where she shares her home with her husband, David Harbour, and her two children, Ethel and Marni.

Lily also shared her checkered past with alcohol and drugs. She has now been sober for four years, recently admitting her life has “changed a lot” since she quit drinking in 2019. In 2021, the star confessed she had turned to adderall, a prescription-only drug to treat ADHDin order to lose weight, but that she had quickly developed an addiction.
