Someone said "the greatest minds of my generation are focused on getting people to click ads".
That is what has lead to habitually poor executive function. Go look at YouTube shorts, or TikTok. There are videos which are literally two videos stacked vertically. Apparently this is because 1 video isn't stimulating enough to keep people from clicking away. That wasn't normal 10 years ago, and would have been uncomfortable for many people to watch. People's brains have changed, formed new habits, through repeated practice. I'm not insulting anyone, most people don't realize they are training their brain in a way they won't appreciate later.
ADHD was first recognized as a condition well before the internet. Clearly there is a way you can have this condition genetically or from your early environment. But now there is a boom in ADHD diagnosis, and it's not because the original etiology has become more prevalent.
Which do you think is more likely: single etiology with varying severity, or multiple etiologies presenting with similar syndromes?
