While I feel people who benefit from treatment (even those who are yet untreated,) shouldn't be denied treatments that are a clear positive contribution to quality of life, I tend to agree that it's not a disorder of the individual but a normal response to the disorder imposed by society as it operates now. The attention economy impairs attention spans.
