Capitalism does prioritize engagement and spending by exploiting short-term dopamine rushes, so in a way kinda-sorta yes?

ADHD as a clinical diagnosis though is the chronic inability for the brain to absorb/retain dopamine; a neurological or chemical issue that isn’t “caused” by behavior. Severe enough and you get to the point where you desperately want to play a video game or watch a show but can’t even press the start button 🥲
