Albie Casiño opens about his ADHD

Actor Albie Casiño shared how he managed his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD in the Sunday episode of “Pinoy Big Brother.”

Casiño, 28, entered the PBB House on the 12th day of its ongoing “Kumunity” season.

The Day 16 of their life inside the house showed Casiño’s morning routine of exercising.

“If I don’t work out, I get stressed. You can’t talk to me straight,” Casiño told his fellow celebrity housemate, showbiz newcomer Shanaia Gomez. “To be honest, it’s more for my mental health than my physical health.”

Albie Casiño explained to Kuya why he chose to work out while his housemates are enjoying the swimming pool.

“Matagal po ako mag-exercise talaga, kasi ‘yan po ‘yung oras ko para ma-calm ‘yung mind ko. Wala akong ibang iniisip kundi ‘yung workout,” he said.

“Dahil po sa condition ko — meron po kasi akong ADHD — ‘yung utak ko, ang dami niyang iniisip palagi. Pag nakakapag-exercise ako, I’m in the moment na, ‘Walang ibang importante ngayon, except itong workout na ‘to,’” Albie Casiño shared.

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood.

Scientists are studying cause(s) and risk factors in an effort to find better ways to manage and reduce the chances of a person having ADHD. The cause(s) and risk factors for ADHD are unknown, but current research shows that genetics plays an important role. Recent studies link genetic factors with ADHD.

Last week, Casiño also trended due to his comments about ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann.

“I think it’s been long enough. It’s okay for me to talk about it. I guess she moved on. So I can finally talk about it now. I don’t mind and I guess I’ll be no holds barred if they ask because I’m kind of tired of covering up for her, bro, you know what I mean?

“I’m not going to hold my tongue so you can look good anymore. And my friends just saw her in Siargao and they said she’s super fat so that makes me super happy. I don’t know if that’s bad of me. But it brings me great joy to know she gained a lot of weight now. Yeah, I don’t care. That’s the truth (laughs). Di tayo nagpla-plastikan dito. That’s the way we do it man. Hindi tayo nakikipagplastikan dito. That’s the last thing we’re going to do,” Albie Casiño said.
