I see a lot of people blaming tiktok and “brain rot” content for the increasing ADHD diagnoses, but I think its a matter of better detection, similar to how OCD and autism diagnosis have increased too.

Also as someone with ADHD, it feels like shit that it could be “my fault” or that I have brainrot.

    I’m not a medical professional but based on what I’ve read (and experienced), I don’t agree that it is. Both usually work best in tandem.

        In most cases, I guess. So? What are we arguing here? That ADHD can’t be “cured”? Sure. But it can be managed and some people profit from learning how to self-regulate, possibly because their life circumstances are beneficial, others need the store-bought help.

            You said that the effect of drugs doesn’t last after stopping them. I don’t know what that has to do with anything and I’m asking you to elaborate.
