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.

    You’re talking about the change that can be the result of stress.

    That is true, and people so experience those things.

    But that’s not what a neurodevelopmental disorder is. They won’t go away by hanging in nature. Hanging in nature may treat it, but doesn’t cure it.

    A lot of the stress from being overstimulated shares symptoms and treatment with add ans adhd though so there’s very little practical difference, except that society seems it’s wrong for people who don’t have neurodevelopmental disorders to medicate with anything stronger than three shots of espresso and a few bottles of “doubled caffeine” energy drinks — which is actually far more dangerous physically than just popping a Ritalin.
