Actress alia bhatt has been outspoken about her mental health ever since she was given a diagnosis of anxiety and ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). Bhatt recently discussed her diagnosis and made it clear that she is not taking any medication in an interview with author Jay Shetty. She also mentioned how her sister's experience motivated her to talk more candidly about her own mental health.
 
Speaking about her experience with ADHD, alia bhatt revealed that her body exhibits peculiar reactions in social settings.  She claimed it gave her the confidence to talk about her own difficulties after hearing the accounts of others dealing with comparable difficulties.

She said, "It often happens to me when I see an A-list celebrity, whether from hollywood or even here, speak about something I relate to. And I think, 'Oh, they’re feeling it too.' It happens to all of us. That’s when I became more open to talking about my specific anxiety. I was recently clinically diagnosed, so I had proper backing, not just saying, 'Oh, I’m having an anxious day.' It’s not just that."
 
Alia went on to say, "I sought therapy because I was having difficulties.  I would physically respond in social situations.  I would begin to warm up.  Additionally, I had trouble concentrating; my mind kept straying.

She went on to say that she used to think she was a great multitasker but "realized that while I can multitask, it takes a toll on me."  I had to know why.  I began to forget everything, even the things I had planned. alia bhatt, who initially talked about her ADHD in an interview with The Lallantop, said that she was relieved to be diagnosed.  She clarified that she often gets concerned when she doesn't have access to information about something.

"So, I took a professional test over three days, not just a random personality quiz, and I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. Strangely, I felt happy because my ADHD diagnosis gave me information. Lack of information is what throws me off the most, and I’m always seeking clarity and comfort. I’m very averse to change. But once I became aware of these things, dealing with them became much simpler."
