According to TMZ, Paris Hilton’s medical conditions are extreme Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and claustrophobia. Big Bird is taking Adderall for her ADD.
Apparently, Hilton was not receiving all of her medications at Lynwood, resulting in severe panic attacks in jail. “There were times she was so debilitated, she could not push the panic button in her cell.”
Her status today: Paris is still depressed but has stopped crying. She has been spending all of her time writing down her thoughts. She is also losing weight from the lack of eating.

lol .. I feel so sad about her …. NOT!
Is this really true? … Not!
ADD would be a non-issue in jail when you’re supposed to be in your cell for all but one hour a day. If anything, that would be a reason not to take adderall. Don’t know much about claustrophobia, but skipping the ADD meds wouldn’t cause a freak out. And for a person who doesn’t like small spaces she spends a lot of time in low slung two-seater sports cars and small, packed nightclubs.
Well, I am no fan of this woman, but I do know that claustrophobia is crippling. And if she’s in a cell, trapped, then without meds (and often WITH them), one can have horrific panic attacks. The difference between riding in a small sports car or hanging out in packed clubs is in either situation, you can always leave. Not so, obviously, in a jail cell.
Regardless of what this woman is about, I do feel sorry for anyone who has a severe anxiety disorder. I do agree with the poster who said not having her ADD meds shouldn’t be a big issue. But if she’s hyperactive and impulsive- and it sounds like she is- not having her ADD meds might make her feel like she’s jumping out of her skin.
Combine that with the anxiety disorder and she is probably quite miserable where she is right now.
The part I’m not seeing or hearing from the media is why she isn’t getting the proper treatment for her ADD. Obviously, it is because of that which is getting her into so much trouble. A good example of what happens when your impulsivity, hyperactivity and poor judgment is out of check.

As if Paris isn’t used to skipping meals. It’s just that now she can’t hide it.
