Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil is currently basking in the success of his recently released movie Aavesham. Amid Aavesham’s success, Faasil revealed at an event that he was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) at the age of 41. While inaugurating Peace Valley School, an institute dedicated to rehabilitating children with special needs, the actor spoke candidly about his mental health journey.
In a viral video shared on Reddit, Faasil could be heard saying, “While walking through the premises of the school, I enquired whether it's easy to cure ADHD. I was told that if diagnosed in childhood, it is possible. I asked whether it could be cured if diagnosed at 41. That's when I was clinically diagnosed with ADHD.”

What is ADHD?
ADHD typically starts in childhood and can continue into adulthood. This condition can lead to low self-esteem, problematic relationships, and challenges in school or work settings. Common symptoms are difficulty maintaining attention and excessive hyperactivity. Treatment options include medication and talk therapy.
People with ADHD often think in a non-linear way, which gives them a broader perspective and enhances their creativity. Many actors with ADHD, such as Justin Bieber, Ryan Gosling, Emma Watson, Channing Tatum, and late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, have shared their experiences and struggles with the condition.
