“I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in second grade. It’s something that I feel like I understand pretty well now, and I realize how deeply it affects every single facet of my life,” Smith said. Through therapy, personal growth and determination Smith has learned a lot about her ADHD, and what treatments work best. Recently, she has started splitting her Adderall pills in half and taking fish oil supplements. Smith halves the pills because she did not like how intense the side effects of Adderall she was experiencing were, and had read that taking fish oil supplements was shown to decrease the severity of ADHD symptoms.
