Busy Philipps details being diagnosed with ADHD alongside daughter Birdie, 15, teases new QVC show and admits she's been dating: 'It's been wild'


Busy Philipps got candid about her mental health journey on Wednesday's Today show, detailing how she was diagnosed with ADHD alongside her daughter. She also dished on her dating life.

The actress then consulted her personal physician and obtained her own diagnosis, a pivotal step that significantly aided her lifelong battle with depression and anxiety. The 44-year-old Dawson's Creek alum told host Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager that she learned she had the disorder after taking her eldest daughter Birdie, now 15, for a doctor's visit. She acknowledged auditioning 'a couple times,' revealing that she also tried out for the character Cheryl, whom she eventually portrayed in the Season 3 episode Dog Day Afternoon.
