The Uncut Gems The star later shared that her ADHD – a chronic condition that includes difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity and impulsivity – was difficult to manage:
“I never really talked about it, but like, ADHD is really tough. I also have a bit of OCD, which I just realized is OCD, because I usually count the number of letters inside of words in my head and I always want them to reach 10, and if I’m not smoking weed, I’m counting literally. “
Follow Mayo Clinic, OCD is a disorder characterized by “irrational thoughts and fears (phobias) that lead to compulsive behaviors.” And to combat her symptoms, Julia shared that she used marijuana — but it didn’t really help her ADHD at all:
