As a kid, Olivia Chavez got disciplined a lot in school for her “disruptive” behavior. She was always looking for ways to channel her hyperactivity and move about. Olivia was diagnosed with ADHD after one incident that led to a difficult conversation between her mother and her teacher.
Olivia also discusses ADHD and depression and mentions a time she thought about suicide. These topics are discussed within a framework of hope and strength. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, help is available today at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255
