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 cant really cause adhd but Theres are a lot of people on tiktok that want to be mentally ill, so they make shit up, or believe in signs that are ordinary. also, tiktok probably made more people lazy & depressed so they had to go to therapy which is why they even got a chance to be diagnosed.
