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.

          May I see this research please?

          Saying environmental factors or dietary factors CANNOT have a influence on ADHD is a very strong statement.

            “Having an influence” and “causing” are two different things. You seem to imply that what mum eats during pregnancy might directly cause the kid to have ADHD.
