Celebrity Justice
ADD Is What Ails Paris

Paris HiltonTMZ has learned that Paris Hilton suffers from extreme Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and claustrophobia, and these conditions may have triggered the Sheriff's decision to spring her from Lynwood Jail last week.

We're told Hilton is taking Adderall for her ADD. Although our sources were not specific, we're told Hilton was not receiving all of her medications at Lynwood. As a result, Hilton was having severe panic attacks in jail. There were times she was so debilitated, she could not push the panic button in her cell.

As for how she's doing today, she's depressed but not really crying. She has a pencil and a pad of paper and she's spending her time writing down her thoughts. We're also told she's losing weight -- although she's no Nicole Richie.

376. Hey Harvey, do your homework on Adderal. It is a LONG ACTING medication, it is properly prescribed ONCE a day.

She gave the finger to the justice system like no other offender did. NO ONE really thinks that your license in suspended for ONLY thirty (30) days. She was already given a celebrity break when the officer merely had her sign the paper saying that she NOW understood clearly that her license to drive had been suspended. She chose to drive again. You and I might not be able to afford tp call a cab to go for a burger but she sure can.

The smoke screen about blaming her assistant for misinforming her about the status of her license is an insult to our intelligence.

Harvey she has played you for a fool for crying about how she is being mistreated. You cannot provide a single other person who has gotten a DUI followed by being cited for driving on a suspended license who did not go to jail. She did not go to jail for the DUI. She did not go to jail after the first episode of driving while suspended. She did not immediately go to jail for the second episode either.

She flipped US the bird twice after her DUI.

She now claims she was just playing dumb for the effect. Anyone that really HAS ADD feels like they are dumb and few overcome the feeling. That statement itself contradicts her diagnosis.

Almost every prisoner in the jail system has some form of ADD. Using your logic, they all should be immediately freed.

Every prisoner will feel claustrophobic in a standard cell. Using your logic, the ones without ADD should also be immediately released.

Paris is NOT the victim. She willingly and willfully committed three acts that she knew she should not have. She now admits she played dumb. She tried to play the system. The sheriff was paying back the campaign contributions over the years. His insult about nothing but golf being discussed on a golf course is another episode of insulting the collective intelligence of his constituency.

380. I have ADD/ADHD and have never had a panic attack or claustrophobic feelings in my life. I'd be very suprised if Paris does have ADD. Attention Deficit Disorder is primarily a social rather than mental disorder. Symptoms apart from lack of concentration are things such as failure to attention to detail, and failure to read body language signs. We are constantly told that "Paris knows exactly what she is doing" and "This is all part of Paris' plan for world domination" Trust me nobody with ADD is capable of planning what they are wearing 2 days from now let alone all the P.R machinations that Paris is capable of.

384. Claustrophobia? That does not stop her from flying on a airplane from club to club, then being jammed in a club with hundreds of people!!!

385. Do not ever free this cheap thing until she finish her days at jail! Free all the inmates that suffer from ADD if you wanna release her!

386. To k ~~~

~~~~> 114. Side effects of Adderall, a controlled substance (stimulant):

Loss of Appetite
Inability to Sleep
Headaches
Depression

Synthetic amphetamine.

--------------------------

Those are possible side effects for new users and abusers but my son, diagnosed with ADD at 8 years old, takes 20 mg a day of Adderall and he eats like a horse and is not fat (btw) or depressed and he sleeps just fine and he doesn't drink or do drugs except the one that is prescribed by his ADD Specialist Doctor. He doesn't have panic attacks, headaches or any of the things you have posted. He graduated high school with TWO degree's and has held down a part-time job for the last four years!

Unlike Paris, who seems to have severe learning disabilities. She didn't bother to read the conditions of her probation and got herself thrown in the slammer! To bad!
She probably is ADD and a slow learner, and that's evident with her poor judgement.
The 40 days will help her to gain an understanding of her wrong doing and keep the citizens of LA safe for that time that she is off the streets.

That's a good thing! :^)

PS. Babbs??
Are you stuck on stupid?? Feeling a little psycho again??
Take your meds Babbs and stop repeating yourself!!

387. Don't you know that Babbs is probably a Hilton, and any supporting comments also probably stem from the same person? No rational person could or would possibly hold that supposed view. It's spin, spin, spin.

388. ADDERALL=mixed amphetamine salts.

What a joke. They keep adding more spin and it seems like the public, for the most part, do not believe this this hogwash.

I can hardly wait for the next incredible story from TMZ.

389. I, BABBS am just standing up for justice. As a former cokewhore I can tell you that 3 days in county CAN sober you up and change your life. I love you Paris. I'll be waiting for you on the outside. Stay beautiful.

390. Wait a minute! You mean to tell me she gets to be in a medical ward, with a window, private bathroom, Newspaper, and ping pong because she has ADD?????? GIVE ME A FREAKIN BREAK!!!!! Can this all get any more disgusting? They should throw some people in there with her that have some real problems. Just more sheltering of the pamered little pathetic princess.
