British actor Simon Pegg announced his adult ADHD diagnosis on a podcast interview held Thursday.
Actor confirms long suspected condition
Simon Pegg stated the new assessment confirmed issues he had wrestled with for years. He explained that previous therapy treated symptoms rather than the underlying cause of his struggles.
Symptoms mistaken for character flaws
The 56-year-old performer previously attributed his difficulties to character faults instead of a medical condition. He noted that he thought ADHD affected only children, not adults like himself.
Health statistics and context provided
Reports indicate the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence defines the disorder as involving hyperactivity and inattention. Estimates suggest roughly 2.5 million people in England live with this condition without a formal diagnosis.
