Fahadh Faasil reveals getting diagnosed with a cognitive disorder at the age of 41

Fahadh Faasil, an extraordinary actor, has been making waves in the Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu film industries. His recent blockbuster, ‘Aavesham,’ made a significant impact at the global box office, grossing over 150 crores. However, in a recent event, the actor disclosed that he had been diagnosed with a cognitive disorder.

Fahadh Faasil revealed that he was clinically diagnosed with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at the age of 41. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects an individual’s ability to regulate attention, behaviour, and impulse control due to differences in brain development and functioning. While it’s often associated with children, it can persist in adults as well.

“The doctor told me it can be easily cured if it is diagnosed at a young age. I asked whether it can be cured if it is diagnosed at the age of 41,” said the ‘Maamannan’ actor. On the work front, he has exciting films in his pipeline such as Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’, Superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Vettaiyan’, and Vagai Puyal Vadivelu’s ‘Maareesan’.
