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.
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.
