  "account": "Paris Hilton has revealed how living with ADHD has given her a \"creative sparkle\" and influenced her various roles as a socialite, model, singer, actress, and businesswoman. The 46-year-old star spoke openly about her experience to challenge the stigma surrounding ADHD. After receiving an adult diagnosis, Hilton found comfort in understanding her childhood struggles and the ways she felt misunderstood.\n\nWith the help of JORNAY PM, a central nervous system stimulant medication, Hilton has managed her ADHD symptoms better. This medication, taken at night, helps her wake up feeling organized and ready to tackle the day. As a mother and entrepreneur, Hilton credits the medication for enabling her to be more present and balanced in her life.\n\nStimulant medications are effective in treating ADHD, improving attention and reducing hyperactivity/impulsivity, according to Justin A. Barterian, PhD, a psychologist and associate professor at The Ohio State University – Wexner Medical Center. Barterian also noted that cognitive behavioral therapy and executive functioning skills training can further enhance these effects. However, he emphasized that proper treatment can substantially reduce the impairment associated with ADHD.\n\nHilton aims to challenge the stigma around ADHD by sharing her story and emphasizing that it has made her more creative and innovative. She encourages others living with ADHD to be patient with themselves and connect with the ADHD community for support. Hilton believes that embracing the unique ways their brains work can lead to success and inspire others to see the creativity and risk-taking potential in those with ADHD.",
