After years of mental health struggles and being misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety, Tanya Bardsley was finally diagnosed with ADHD in 2021, just days before her 40th birthday. In an exclusive chat with OK! Tanya said in a bid to help regulate symptoms, which included erratic emotions, forgetfulness and anxiety, doctors offered her ADHD medication. She said: "When I was on the first one, I felt really happy and content but I just didn’t speak.
I sat smiling, and that’s not me. I wasn’t myself. It took my personality away.
“With the second round of medication, I was erratic and my family were concerned.Then the third one you could actually see my boob implant wobbling with how fast my heart was going,” she shares. Eventually, after trial and error, Tanya discovered that in her particular case, medication didn't work for her. She says, “I was on a photo shoot and was being erratic.
I just felt so out of control and dizzy. I remember just falling to the floor and then I had a seizure. "The girls on the shoot quickly rang Phil, my mum and an ambulance.The thought of leaving my kids with no mum was scary.” Tanya, who is mum to Gabriella, 21 and also shares Rocco, 14, Renz, 10, and Ralphi, seven, with Phil, admits that’s when she began to “spiral” and “had a complete breakdown".
