Local actress Chen Yixin raised a few eyebrows when she opened up about growing up with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in an interview with Pin Prestige in...
According to Chen, her parents didn’t have a big reaction when she revealed her condition to them.
While studying psychology, Chen saw similarities between ADHD and her own condition, and"wanted to get confirmation and medical support". "I was confused that some people could focus on the entire lesson. I would rather zone out than focus." Even during conversations with people, Chen said she needs to"jump around topics" in order to maintain her interest.While she is aware that going public with the issue might be seen as attention-seeking, Chen hopes that the act of admitting having ADHD can be normalised.
