Heidi Klum's diagnosis

The 52-year-old model admitted in an interview with Glamour magazine that she suffers from ADHD, which she calls her "superpower".

The problem of diagnosing women

Experts point to the phenomenon of masking, through which women often receive a diagnosis only in adulthood.

German model and producer Heidi Klum revealed in an interview with Glamour magazine that she was diagnosed with a form of ADHD. The 52-year-old star described the disorder as her superpower, which allows her to maintain a high level of professional activity. Klum admitted that thanks to her hyperactivity, she is able to manage multiple projects simultaneously, which has become the foundation of her success in the entertainment industry. The model, born in Bergisch Gladbach, emphasized that the diagnosis is not a limitation for her, but a source of energy essential for daily functioning.

The model's public confession came shortly after a candid appearance by her son, Henry, who in early March 2026 shared his own experiences on the program On & Off the Catwalk. Henry confessed that as a child he struggled with a severe form of ADHD, shedding new light on the family's health history. Media outlets, including Stern, N-tv, and Focus, note that Heidi Klum's openness fits into a trend of breaking taboos around mental health among public figures.
