I must say this is a very informative and interesting video to watch on. As I'm currently working on my master's project in analyzing EEG signals to identify patterns associated with ADHD. Indeed this is an area that need much more research and information similar to autism where early diagnosis and root cause the disorder is much needed to treat these disorders and provide more supports for children.

Thanks for the comment!

I suspect that instead of social media worsening adhd symptoms, the causation is just the other way. adhd predisposes you to higher social media use, which would make sense

[@ZacharyCortex]

Yeh I agree this is possible for a lot of people, though I do think the sharp rise in ADHD diagnosis is also to do with the rise in social media use - just because tiktok and other social media require only seconds to minutes of attention and the brain gets used to doing what people train it to do

This is so interesting, I think I would have put money on the fact that I thought incidence of ADHD was increasing.. do you think with the rise of social media and apps like tiktok, these numbers will shoot up again in the next analyses?

Thanks for the comment! I think there is likely to be an impact in the next 5-10 years as the new generation growing up having probably higher levels of ADHD, though interesting diagnosed rates are not as high as everyone seems to think.
