ADHD is more than likely hereditary and in some cases due to environmental factors completely unrelated to social media. There seems to be at least some link to lead exposure. The rise in identified cases of ADHD is due to an increase in the availability of telemedicine, better research, higher awareness, and better diagnostics.
I mostly agree, but I think the term unrelated is a bit of a stretch. At the very least, heavy digital and social media use exacerbates and worsens ADHD symptoms.
All you said about better recognition and diagnosis is true, but worsening symptoms also increases chance of diagnosis.
True, If you have ADHD anything of sufficient stimulation can be difficult to tear yourself away from. So if it wasn't social media it would likely be something else. It's important to be clear on the cause of ADHD and the symptoms. The misinformation out there about ADHD has long been a problem for people with the condition. I can't even get my meds cause the feds restricted the supply for a while. Of course with that decrease in supply came a flood much more expensive and much less effective medications on the market. Guess what happened to the supply of effective and cheap medicines when the DEA decided to loosen those restrictions?
Trust me, I'm not trying to spread misinformation or limit people's access to medication lol
Honestly, when DSM 6 releases, we will probably see a separate diagnosis related to social media use disorder/social media induced dopamine dysregulation.
I'm sorry if I came across as personally accussing you. It's just a frequent struggle and I know how quickly the pseudoscience can spread. You seem alright to me and I definitely did not assume nefarious intentions lol
Oh for sure on DSM. Social Media Slot Machine is no good.
No you’re good, we have one in this very thread
What does that have to do with anything? You faked some symptoms to get drugs. GJ
Look, I'm going to provide you with a pretty honest breakdown of the current situation for people that do have ADHD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRPeU1DYOWA You deceived a doctor by faking symptoms. If I go into a doctors office, say I swallowed a bottle of tylenol but I didn't, curl over screem, and they pump my stomach does that mean there is something wrong with their diagnosis?
