8. Adam Levine
Adam Levine is a modern-day Renaissance man. He is in a band, he is a judge on a singing competition reality show, and he is often named one of the sexiest men alive. He acts, he sings, and he writes songs, too. He is also one of the many celebs who was diagnosed with ADHD. He spoke with ADDitude Magazine about living with the attention disorder and even though there is still a stigma surrounding mental health, Adam does not let his disorder keep him from doing what he loves and enjoys. And when we watch him perform or judge other singers on The Voice, he looks totally in control.
7. Pete Rose
Pete Rose contributed to a memoir in which he revealed what life is like with ADHD. In the book My Prison Without Bars, Rose writes about how he sought out competition and struggled with achieving greatness in the face of an attention disorder. He spoke out about how having ADHD is like living with something inside of you that you can’t really control. Yet it was that dopamine imbalance that was one of the biggest factors in pushing him to achieve superstardom on the baseball diamond. There is no “easy answer,” as Rose puts it, but it is something that sufferers just live with.
