Tik tok is a cancer rotting the brains of everyone.

HOLY SHIT

ADHD, or attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, is having a moment. On TikTok, videos tagged #ADHD have been viewed more than 11bn times. Most of the creators are twenty- and thirtysomethings who identify as having the executive function disorder, whose symptoms commonly include difficulties in concentrating and regulating emotions. Some are practicing clinicians who use their platforms to correct misconceptions (and discourage self-diagnosis). Altogether, they post to ever-expanding audiences.

The trend nods at a surge in adult ADHD diagnoses more than a decade in the making. The steady climb of juvenile ADHD was already a source of concern (and eye-rolls). But between 2007 and 2016, the reported incidence of adult ADHD shot up by 123% in the US, far outpacing the rate of increase in child and adolescent cases. In the mid-2010s, adults replaced children as the primary market for ADHD medication.

Some attribute the pattern to social media. Donovan attests to this first-hand, that she’s gotten more than 1,000 messages from people who pursued clinical assessments and received diagnoses thanks to her content. The decade-old Reddit page r/ADHD grew from 643,000 subscribers in March 2020 to more than 1.4 million today,

Fucking redditors. Brain dead. They should bust that up next.
