Katie Price has revealed she is likely to have undiagnosed ADHD and is undergoing further assessment to see if she can get a diagnosis.
The former glamour model, 44, revealed to her OnlyFans subscribers via MailOnline that she visited a doctor to see if she has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
She explained: ‘I went to see a doctor to see if I have ADHD and it turns out, I probably have!’
Revealing the next steps to getting a diagnosis, Katie told her followers: ‘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.’
ADHD is a condition that affects a person’s behaviour and while it is mostly diagnosed in childhood, some people do not discover they have it until later in life.
The symptoms include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness, and according to the NHS, adults with ADHD can have issues with carelessness, a lack of attention to detail, restlessness and risk taking among other symptoms.

What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a condition which affects a person’s behaviour and is commonly defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness, among other symptoms.
Although most commonly identified in children, some people with ADHD do not realise they have it until adulthood.
According to the NHS, the following are some symptoms of ADHD in adults:
carelessness and lack of attention to detail
continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones
poor organisational skills
inability to focus or prioritise
continually losing or misplacing things
forgetfulness
restlessness and edginess
difficulty keeping quiet, and speaking out of turn
blurting out responses and often interrupting others
mood swings, irritability and a quick temper
inability to deal with stress
extreme impatience
taking risks in activities, often with little or no regard for personal safety or the safety of others – for example, driving dangerously

Katie’s post comes after it was claimed she lost her pet chihuahua Captain while on holiday recently.
The mum-of-five had been holidaying in Sandbanks, Dorset, with fiancé Carl Woods, 33, when the pup went missing for eight hours.
A source told The Sun: ‘Katie was in bits. She thought Captain would be fine off his lead as they were staying on a friend’s private property which was very secure but he managed to run off.
‘They couldn’t find him anywhere and everyone was looking. Katie was devastated thinking she has lost him for good, or that he might get run over.’
Thankfully she received a call eight hours later to say that Captain had been found safe and well and had been taken to a local vet who had identified him by his microchip.
