Mary took to Instagram to upload a picture of her wearing a white jacket and accessorizing herself with white pearls. The star captioned the post, "As someone who struggles with ADHD, I believe it's important to raise awareness through education." Partnering with More To ADHD, she talked about how the campaign provides "reliable resources about the disorder, including information about the long-term effects of ADHD". The real estate agent then went on to explain the side effects of ADHD if left untreated. The star wrote, "If left untreated, some people may experience obstacles such as finding and maintaining relationships, marital problems, frequent job changes, loss of employment, productivity issues, and disorganization."
Well, not only does it affect the day-to-day chores, but if left untreated, ADHD can also affect one's mental health. "Most importantly, untreated ADHD can lead to mental health issues including low self-esteem, increased anti-social habits, substance abuse, suicide risk, and psychological/mood disturbances," said Mary. Therefore, Mary believes that educational resources can help one direct what one needs to get through ADHD.
