One wonders if that’s why there’s seemingly been an explosion on ADHD (self-)diagnoses lately.
Not even saying those diagnoses are wrong. It’s just the additional self-discipline requirements imposed by WFH exposed what was already there.
- olliej 4y agoI suspect the explosion of ADHD, is an explosion of people complaining about how the DEA has decided that while mass over prescription of Oxy is fine, ADHD meds should be heavily restricted because that isn't profitable. Seriously: every person I have learned has ADHD recently, I have learned because the DEA screwing with the availability of their prescribed medication.
