Katie Price reveals surprising medical diagnosis after doctor’s visit
KATIE Price has revealed she is undergoing tests to determine whether she has been living with undiagnosed ADHD.
The 44-year-old model and TV personality is famed for her consistently dramatic social and working life, and while getting therapy has asked for checks to whether she has a behavioral disorder.
Speaking to viewers on her OnlyFans page, Katie explained: “I went to see a doctor to see if I have ADHD and it turns out, I probably have!
“I have got some forms to fill out, say what I was like as a kid, my mum’s got to fill out forms and my dad, and then my next appointment is when I’m back from Thailand.”
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterised on the NHS website as a condition that affects people’s behaviour, often making them act impulsively and causing them to be restless.
In most cases, the diagnosis occurs at a young age, before becoming a teenager.
According to psychologist Dr Alison McClymont, ADHD was also only formally recognised in the UK in 2000, so lots of adults missed their chance to be diagnosed in childhood.
This number is higher in women as it manifests in a less obviously hyperactive way than male counterparts.
Adults with ADHD often have problems with following instructions, coping with stress, time management and can be impulsive risk-takers.
This could also cause issues with social situations and forming relationships.
Katie is known for her turbulent private life, which have been often documented via reality series and documentaries. One reality show, titled ‘My Crazy Life’ ran from 2017 to 2020.
Katie made the revelation shortly before jetting to Thailand for her 12th holiday of the year – despite facing a bankruptcy hearing in February 2023.

At the end of October, she shared photos from her trip to ‘Billionaires paradise’ Sandbanks, home of Harry Redknapp, with fiancée Carl Woods and her two youngest children, Bunny and Jett.
However, even that trip didn’t come without a hitch as she ended up spending eight hours trying to track down her beloved chihuahua Captain after it ran off on the trip.
Katie, once worth £45m, was declared bankrupt in 2019.
She planned to pay £12,000 a month to creditors through an individual voluntary arrangement.
However, it’s alleged she’s failed to keep to the agreement.
