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.

    Same, and I limit short video scrolling on Instagram to doing it for a set amount of time with my partner, since it’s like a little comedy break for us. I know myself well enough to avoid that shit like the plague, otherwise.
