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.
When drugs are stopped, no benefit persists long term
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’re all over the place, I don’t know what you’re arguing
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.
Non drug treatment is more successful than drug treatment, therefore cannot be simple inborn chemical imbalance
You can keep claiming that but it doesn’t make it true. Produce some evidence
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?
