Holly Hagan has revealed she has been diagnosed with ADHD, as she admitted in an Instagram video on Monday that she has had an ‘intense’ six months.
The Geordie Shore actress, 32, reached out to her 1.4 million viewers for advice and tips on how to manage ADHD while navigating everyday life as a working mother.
She explained that she had been feeling “overwhelmed” and “disorganized” and that the 2023 birth of her son Alpha Jax, whom she shares with husband Jacob Blyth, was a turning point.
Holly shared a video on her page and wrote: ‘I’m starting 2025 with an ADHD diagnosis.
“The constant overwhelm, disorganization, insomnia, misdiagnosed anxiety, previous EDs, inability to focus, forgetfulness, object permanence, which means I literally forget people exist!”
‘I have been so incredibly good at masking all these years and my work has given me so much freedom to not get overwhelmed.

‘Only since I became a mother and run a business full-time have I realized that I actually don’t function well.
‘To the point where I thought if I exercised three hours a week, my business would go bankrupt and I would only have one good night’s sleep by 2024.
‘The last six months have been super intense and even though I’m nervous to post this, I wouldn’t have known if all the other women hadn’t shared their journey and symptoms.
“I would definitely like any tips you find helpful to stay organized and less overwhelmed.”
In support of her candid clip, Holly’s comments section was flooded with followers offering her advice.
One wrote: ‘Welcome to the club. Honestly, medication has changed my life. You could try it or try Lions Maine which is natural or magnesium. There is a huge community online, keep sharing your experiences and the community will come, it really helps to have people who understand xx’
‘Use it as your gift: the empathy, the hyperfocus, the emotions you feel that others don’t feel! Whiteboards, phone notes and not thinking about the 10 things you need to do, just 1 at a time. Good days and bad days, but it can’t be treated with medicine, I will say, medication numbs your personality. X’
‘You’re not alone in this. It’s so brave to post this and encourage everyone else.”
She explained that she had been feeling “overwhelmed” and “disorganized” and that the 2023 birth of her son Alpha Jax, whom she shares with husband Jacob Blyth, was a turning point.
Her update comes after she revealed the results of her weight loss of more than three stone in a before and after video showing the results of her fitness journey.
The star revealed she is following a 15-month regime aimed at ‘beginners and busy mums’.
Holly wore the same turquoise bikini in the clips more than a year apart and showed off the incredible results of her program.
Holly previously admitted she ‘stopped showing up and making content’ after being criticized for her postpartum body by cruel online trolls.
But the mum-of-one is now back to her best and is showing off her hard work and grueling sessions by promoting her classes.
