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.
