FORMER Coronation Street star Ryan Clayton has shared a huge health update with fans after being left waiting for a diagnosis for 'two years'.<\/p>\n

Ryan, famed for his role as David Platt's rapist Josh Tucker, opened up to fans as he confirmed he had joined "club ADHD".<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The 30 year old penned a lengthy message to his fans on Instagram as he got candid about finally getting the diagnosis and explaining how his Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affected him.<\/p>\n

Writing online, the Waterloo Road star said: "Well, after 2 [and a] half years of realising you don\u2019t \u2018grow out\u2019 of ADHD, just because you\u2019re not hyperactive in the way you were as a kid, and 29 years later, I\u2019m an official member of club ADHD."<\/p>\n

Ryan admitted he was left feeling 'relieved' as he got clarity from finally getting the diagnosis as he expressed how important it was for it to be recognised and how it was more than just "being fidgety".<\/p>\n

He went onto add: "I ain\u2019t here giving it a pity post, look I have a fully abled body, I\u2019m fortunate enough to work in a creative environment right now, and I am of course aware ADHD isn\u2019t as extreme as some of the other neurodivergent conditions but I can tell you it\u2019s lot more than being fidgety and it shouldn\u2019t be underestimated either, it can be a real f***er for you up there at times too. <\/p>\n

He went onto pen that the formal diagnosis had allowed him to find "acceptance" and be at peace with the condition and felt he was able to be more "open" about the way he felt without fear of judgement.<\/p>\n

Ryan said: "As brilliant as it is to have that official diagnoses, get that clarity and now be in a position where I feel I can openly talk about it without having the stigma of being \u2018another self diagnosed ADHD\u2019er\u2019 because \u201ceveryone\u2019s got it now\u201d, in the 2 years it took to get diagnosed, despite initial confusions and frustrations, I\u2019ve had an acceptance and a much better understanding for my mind works for sometime now.<\/p>\n

"So for anyone on that journey, whether you\u2019re just realising or on the waiting list, or you\u2019re a friend, partner or family member trying to understand it (and they won\u2019t stop going on about it) I don\u2019t believe that anyone is worse off for knowing (undiagnosed or diagnosed)"<\/p>\n
