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.

    Non drug treatment is more successful than drug treatment, therefore cannot be simple inborn chemical imbalance

      Again, I don’t agree that it is and I don’t know how the notion that the drugs’ effect isn’t permanent is relevant. But okay, what is ADHD instead of a chemical imbalance?
